79 <p>Salome Study Manager (SIMAN) is a client
\96 server application for managing
80 simulation studies created in various Salome modules or other applications.
83 <p>Namely, SIMAN provides users with the possibility to:</p>
85 <ul type="square" class="whs1">
87 <li class=kadov-p><p>Collect all simulation data (specifications, geometries,
88 meshes, boundary conditions, calculation results, reports, etc.) produced
89 according to the CEA study workflow.</p></li>
91 <li class=kadov-p><p> Track
92 the evolution of on-going studies (progress of studies, state of documents,
93 design choices, history of modifications, etc.)</p></li>
95 <li class=kadov-p><p>Capitalize the problem solutions and store such
96 knowledge as best practices, limitations and metrics.</p></li>
98 <li class=kadov-p><p>Archive and share these studies and knowledge
99 into a centralized repository providing advanced search.</p></li>
104 <p><img src="image001.jpg" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="1019px" height="640px" border="0" class="img_whs2"></p>
106 <p>The usual user interaction with SIMAN and Salome goes as follows:</p>
110 <ul type="square" class="whs1">
112 <li class=kadov-p><p class="whs3">Start a SIMAN session;</p></li>
114 <li class=kadov-p><p class="whs3">Create a study;</p></li>
116 <li class=kadov-p><p class="whs3">Initialize the activities,
117 for example, import the requirements, write the
118 specifications and create the geometry;</p></li>
120 <li class=kadov-p><p class="whs3">Check out the study
121 scenario to launch SALOME opening the corresponding SALOME Study and the
122 geometry previously imported into it;</p></li>
124 <li class=kadov-p><p class="whs3">Continue working
125 with SALOME, for example, mesh the geometry, set the boundary conditions,
126 create a YACS calculation scheme;</p></li>
128 <li class=kadov-p><p class="whs3">Check-in the scenario
129 study to save the result back to SIMAN and close SALOME;</p></li>
131 <li class=kadov-p><p class="whs3">Complete the metadata
132 study information by adding simulation contexts and various comments such
133 as design choices, issues, etc.</p></li>
