+  
+  Module: pyvolution.domain
+  
+  This function (a method of \code{domain}) is invoked once all the preliminary steps have been 
+  taken, and causes the model to progress through a successive steps in its evolution, during
+  which quantities are progressively recalculated and the domain may be modified. The user specifies
+  the time period over which the evolution is to take place, by specifying values (in seconds) for either
+  \code{duration} or \code{finaltime}, as well as the interval in seconds after which results are to be 
+  stored and statistics output.  
+  
+  You can include \code{evolve} in a statement of the type:
+  
+  {\small \begin{verbatim}
+      for t in domain.evolve(yieldstep, finaltime):
+          <Do something with domain and t>
+  \end{verbatim}}
 
   \end{funcdesc}
