Simula'ng observa'ons with ALMA
Eric Villard (ALMA JAO)


simdata is a CASA task
· · · · · · · simdata replaces simdata2, star'ng from 3.1 inp simdata, to list the parameters default simdata, to reset the parameters go simdata, to run, or simply go if ac've task tget simdata, to load parameters help simdata, to obtain the online help simdata is a wrapper to the sm tool

simdata is structured
· simdata has 6 subtasks, run in the order:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. modifymodel setpoin'ngs predict thermalnoise image analyze

· The output of each subtask can be re used in subsequent runs.
