MatCalc 'How to ...' manual

This document provides useful hints, recipes and strategies on 'how to' setup simulations efficiently and correctly. It will discuss general considerations for the simulation setup and tries to avoid typical traps and error that one can tap into when using the MatCalc simulation modules.
