Abstract: In this paper, we briefly present the ELT/HARMONI instrument, its pipeline and its instrument numerical simulator. We then explain how we use the simulator to prototype and validate robust pipeline algorithms for each of the 44 scale/band combinations of the instrument, long before it is built. We give examples of such algorithms and for each of them we detail the gain brought by the simulator, and how it has been used to provide feedback on the instrument design.
