When using SEAMCAT for a compatibility analysis, a typical workflowwould be asfollows:
- 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 futher 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.
