A ‘quick buttons’ toolbar with access to the most commonly used features is avaialable at the top of the SEAMCAT interface window. The function of each button is shown in a tooltip whenever your mouse is moved over it. Certain buttons are inactive when the function is not applicable, e.g. the stop simulation button is active only during the run of a simulation. Inactive buttons are displayed dimmed.
