Principle
*****************************************************************************

In Meso-NH, simulations can be divived in two categories:
   
* :ref:`ideal_cases` correspond to simulations which are initialized with an idealized atmosphere, typically with a radiosonding. In this kind of simulation you can use 1D, 2D or 3D grid on cartesian or conformal projections.
   
* :ref:`real_cases` correspond to simulations which are initialized with large-scale 3D atmospheric fields (IFS, ARPEGE, AROME, GFS, etc.).

For both catergories, you will have to use several :ref:`executables_and_namelists` to pre-process, run and post-process diagnostics of your simulation. To deepens Meso-NH's functionalities, please go to the following tutorials.
