Cubit™ has always provided users with the ability to create some level of customization via its scripting language and journal files. The Algebraic Pre-Processor (APREPRO) adds another layer of detail and control to the process. When the Cubit Graphical User Interface was added to Cubit in 2004 Python was embedded into the framework and was made available via external scripting files or in the script tab.
