Quick start¶
Everything below happens in Play-in-Editor with the console (~), in any level of your own project — an empty level is fine. No editor authoring is required for any of it. (The editor-authored showcase — skyline, live hurricane, HUD — is the step after this: see the demo build in the plugin's Docs/DEMO_SCRIPT.md.)
1. Price a portfolio in 60 seconds¶
The plugin loads the bundled Florida coastal portfolio (60 locations, ~$0.61B TIV), the 20-event Atlantic demo catalog and the vulnerability curves from its own Data/ folder — nothing needs to exist in the level. The Output Log prints:
Scelo Atlas: starting Monte Carlo — 60 locations, 20 events, 10000 years.
Scelo Atlas: Monte Carlo complete. Years=10000 AAL=… TVaR99=… AEP250=…
The run executes on a background worker thread — the editor never blocks — and reports progress and completion through delegates.
2. Open the Scelo Lab¶
The Lab is a self-building synthetic test arena — it constructs its own lighting, floor, water and control panel wherever you are, and restores your level when you leave (Scelo.LabExit). Drop shapes from the palette (Cube, Ball, Cone, Cyl, Slab, or Scelo.LabShape cube) — every shape is an insured location whose TIV derives from the same mass and size the physics reads. Stack them, then hit Tornado and drag the funnel over your build with the left mouse button:
The book line at the top of the Lab panel reprices live. Scelo.LabFlood 1.5 floods the arena; Scelo.LabBook logs every unit's TIV, hazards, damage and loss; Scelo.Dash opens the financial dashboard — exposure, loss by peril, summary statistics. See Scelo Lab & Climate Studio for the full guide.
3. Export the actuarial results pack¶
Runs a full simulation on the bundled sample book (Ekhaya Cove — 20 locations, $10.18M TIV) and writes the complete, versioned results pack — summary metrics JSON, EP table with confidence bands, year-/event-/period-loss tables, per-location detail, per-event hazard footprints and a manifest. The Output Log prints where every file landed. The whole actuarial suite (Scelo.SU, Scelo.Freq, Scelo.Reinsurance, Scelo.Parametric, Scelo.Capital, Scelo.Audit…) works the same way — see the Console reference.
4. Explore climate scenarios¶
The SceloClimate Studio panel (labeled ILLUSTRATIVE) works over the sample book in any level: Scelo.Scenario set <pathway> <year> picks pathway × horizon, Scelo.Ep run years=20000 fills the EP previews with a background Monte Carlo, Scelo.Adapt add <lever> applies adaptation levers. Full guide.
5. The city film — one command after a 2-minute stage¶
Scelo.CityCinematic tornado plays a hands-off ~66-second film — establishing shot, the disaster, the aftermath, the EP-curve payoff:
The film plays over the plugin's procedural city, so it needs one placed first (once, ~2 minutes): drop a Scelo City Visualizer into the level and set its Portfolio to the bundled sample DA_Ekhaya2 — then the whole city-hazard family works too (Scelo.CityTornado, Scelo.CityQuake, Scelo.CityEPCurve, recovery). Step-by-step in Cinematic.
Where to next¶
- Load your own portfolio — CSV schema, OED import, catalogs and curves
- Console reference — everything else (
Scelo.DemoPanelgives you buttons for most of it) - Export the results pack — ELT / YLT / EPT / footprints as CSV
