Steps to simulation

1. download and install CASA from my.nrao.edu -> CASA Beta release
2. InputModel - Preparing a patch of sky for simdata to pseudoobserve.
3. InputExamples
4. AntennaList - how to specify the positions and diameters of your antennas or stations.
5. SpecifyingObservation - how to set up what/when/how you want to observe, and the output image details
6. AddingNoise - (Optional) For added realism, corrupt your visibilities with thermal and phase noise.
7. DeconvolveImage (Optional) Go back from the calculated visibilities to a synthesis image
