2.3 Typical SEAMCAT workflow

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

1. Create or update a simulation workspace;
2. Set the simulation control parameters (number of events, debug mode or not);
3. Run a simulation;
4. Analyse the event generation results, modify the input scenario if necessary and re-run the event generation;
5. Perform one or more interference calculation runs;
6. 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.
