| Abstract: | The link between gas dynamical models and observations is crucial. The general progress in numerical simulations must be accompanied
by predictions for observable quantities, which not only allow to test the models or parts of them against observations but
which also improve the understanding of observational data. In this paper we focus on predictions for observations, for three
examples of 3Dhydrodynamical simulations of binary star systems, and the techniques required for their derivation. The examples
include synthetic, optically thin Doppler broadened line profiles for colliding wind symbiotic binaries, the UV light curve
of an accretion model for the symbiotic binary RW Hya, and the X-ray light curve of the WR+O binaryγ Velorum. The main purpose
is to emphasize the importance of such studies and to illustrate the capabilities of the emploiedtools. The tools are all
contained in the A-MAZE code package we have developed and are publicly available.
