Simulation messages are produced during event generation and calculation, they are also logged to the simulation log file which is located in Log subdirectory of the Seamcat installation directory. When in batch mode they are only logged to the log file;
Interactive messages are displayed outside the event generation process.

Two levels of messages could be distinguished:

Error messages that notify the user that the current action (validation, simulation) can not be performed;
Warning messages inform the user of some oddity or possible inconsistency, which do not prevent the current action/simulation to be performed.
