## Getting Started

To get an overview of the Tunny plugin and the available components, please see the <a href="https://tunny-docs.deno.dev/docs/components" target="_blank">Tunny documentation</a>. 

Below we will highlight and elaborate a bit on some of the most important features of the package, and how they can be used in our workflows. The following <a href="https://karamba3d.com/examples/optimization-of-column-positions/" target="_blank">Karamba3D model</a> is used as an example.
