How-to Guides
Welcome to the how-to guide of SAInt. The how-to gives step-by-step directions to perform a precise task. They address specific questions and problems and are not information based, since it is assumed that the user has some knowledge and understanding of the software. The how-to guide covers general, energy, electric, fluid (gas, etc.), and combined tasks. Each how-to may suggest links to similar how-to.
The how-to guide does not require internet access. However, the documentation is dynamic and continuously updated. When opening the documentation, if an internet connection is available, a message will inform the user that there are changes that can be downloaded.
