The ESA M7 mission candidate Plasma Observatory (PO) proposal’s Group on Simulation Numerical Support (GIANNI) is tasked with supporting the proposal's Science Study Team with simulation data, to help evaluate the proposal's science impact, assess possible descoping options and their effects on science output, and provide constraints for the PO constellation parameters.

In this presentation, we summarize the composition and capabilities of the group and the represented simulation models. This includes collating a repository of tools and short manuals and tutorials for the sorts of simulation datasets available and their possible use cases, and how to work with us to set up virtual observatories in the varied numerical models. We present an overview of the group's science support activities.
