+1. Download the Droplet Deformation scripts (DropDeform_XYZ.py) and the conda environment for Windows (DropDeform_windows.yml):
+https://git.rwth-aachen.de/avt-fvt/public/droplet-deformation/
+
+2. Open the DropDeform_main.py script with a code editor and install the environment DropDeform.yml:
+- conda env create -f DropDeform_windows.yml
+
+3. Set configuration parameters in DropDeform_config.py and run the DropDeform_main.py script.
+
+...
+
+98. Script description and content:
+- DropDeform_main.py --> This is the main script to execute DropDeform.
+- DropDeform_config.py --> In this script configurations for the DropDeform_main.py script are set.
+- DropDeform_poly.py --> In this script polyhedral shape parameters for the DropDeform_main.py script are set.
+- DropDeform_deform.py --> This script contains all functions related to droplet deformation model.
+- DropDeform_bo.py --> This script contains all functions related to Bond number correlation.
+- DropDeform_excel.py --> This script contains all functions to export the results to excel.
+
+99. Troubleshooting
+
+a) If you have problems with conda not finding the packages when creating the environment, try to add conda channels:
+- conda config --append channels conda-forge
+- conda config --append channels anaconda 
+
+b) If you have problems with creating the environment using the .YML file, try manual creation:
+
+conda create -n DCNumPro python=3.10 xlwt numpy pandas sympy scipy tqdm
