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.
