Sorting the output files into folders provides a first system of order in the output data. However, once a file has been moved out of its folder or if several simulations come together, this system is not unique and not persistent. As a solution, the ENVI-met file name generation scheme allows a direct identification of the simulation files and their content. | Sorting the output files into folders provides a first system of order in the output data.

+ | Level 1 and 2 provide a good information basis about the content of a simulations file and they where the only sources of information in ENVI-met versions prior to V4. However, files get moved and files get renamed. For that reason, starting from ENVI-met Version 4, each data file again holds detailed information about its data type in the metadata stored in the [[filereference: | ||
