1.8.2 SEAMCAT community - more than STG
- Former user (Deleted)
SEAMCAT allows building customized library of components (systems, antennas etc.) or use those created by someone else. It is possible to use predefined antenna patterns, spectrum emission masks, and propagation models etc. which are available in the SEAMCAT library, so that reuse of scenarios, library items, etc. can be used  in new studies. You can join the SEAMCAT community to contribute to this activity.Â
The SEAMCAT community is a forum where active SEAMCAT users can report feedback on the use and improvement of the tool (see Section 2.22). This includes the members of STG but also users from universities and organisations all around the world. This community has extended itself well beyond the CEPT borders as depicted in Figure 17.
It is possible to contribute to the community by sharing workspaces, populating libraries, creating and sharing plugins (EPPs, propagation plugins, etc...) and contribute to ECC and CEPT reports with SEAMCAT simulations. Any plugins are automatically embedded, so it’s only necessary to share workspaces by email.Â
The SEAMCAT application is open source and it is available free of charge.
The SEAMCAT community is accessible via different media:
- SEAMCAT email reflector (seamcat@list.cept.org):
- To subscribe: mailto:seamcat-request@list.cept.org?subject=Subscribe;
- To unsubscribe: mailto:seamcat-request@list.cept.org?subject=unsubscribe;
- STG-ECO forum (http://www.cept.org/ecc/groups/ecc/wg-se/stg/client/forum).
