A menu-driven scroll and select interface provides logical options when
and where expected. Context-sensitive help provides instant technical
assistance for each data field, with expected units. Data values presented
in the help screens are automatically presented in the current set of
units to aid input.
The customization options of CAESAR II have been driven by user requests,
code changes, and the need to benchmark older, existing systems and their
initial design. Many of these customization options enable newer analysis
techniques appearing in current literature. This allows CAESAR II to work
the way a typical engineer thinks and solves a problem. This also means
that the technical support provided to users by the engineering staff
is almost instantaneous. Users talk straight to the developers, ensuring
an accurate and timely answer.
