2.3 Typical SEAMCAT workflow
When using SEAMCAT for a compatibility analysis, a typical workflow would be as follows:
-
Create or update a simulation workspace;
-
Set the simulation control parameters (number of events, debug mode or not);
-
Run a simulation;
-
Analyse the event generation results, modify the input scenario if necessary and re-run the event generation;
-
Perform one or more interference calculation runs;
-
Generate a simulation report.

In addition to these basic steps further ones may be useful for different purposes:
-
Save workspace as an XML compliant file for later (repeated) work or for sharing with other users;
-
Create or update elements in the equipment library for repeatedly used equipment types;
-
Import a library;
-
Use of batch job, to serialise your work;
-
Share your workspace with others;
-
Use of an Event Processing Plugin for advanced scenario specific calculations.
