The Computational Infrastructure for Nuclear Astrophysics (CINA) has a graphical user interface that guides users step-by-step through the execution of complicated tasks. The interface, a JAVA program that runs on your computer, communicates with our server over the internet. We also have extensive online HELP documention that is availble from within the system, with step-by-step instructions available for many functions.

As an additional help, linked below are three PDF files describing our system. The first is an overview of our system features; the second is focussed on setting up, running, and visualizing element synthesis calculations; and the third is a set of representative sample investigations using CINA.
