- | We provide ENVI-met as it is. We will not create special customized versions for you. | + | You need to pick selected or typical areas and simulate those as case studies. |
+ | Starting with V4.3, you might also simulate a (very) large area, but you need a (very) strong computer and a lot of memory. | ||

- | There are papers about photocatalytic NO degration, water spray cooling or the cool TreePass. Where are they in my version? | + | |
- | !!! There are two different versions of ENVI-met (see [[apps: | + | |
- | * Basic: The free software you can download | + | |
- | * Expert: An extended model with far more features than the basic version | + | |
- | You can add the functionalities of the Professional version by buying | + | !!! ENVI-met is a pure physical model. It was designed for high-resolution simulations, but the model physics will also work for much larger spaces and coarser grid resolutions. Hence, ENVI-met might also be used for mesoscale applications if the features |

+ | ??? How do I get support? | ||
+ | |||
+ | !!! There is a large number of documents, online help and video tutorials on our web page and it is growing constantly. | ||
+ | In addition there is our online forum, but remember that this is not an online hotline. Some question might be answered, others not because they are too complex. Also this is intended as an exchange forum between users. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **In addition, the following licenses come with different individual support:** | ||
+ | * BUSINESS: Up to 4 hours of direct support, contact info(at)envi-met.com | ||
+ | * SCIENCE: Up to 1 hours of direct support for the registered researcher or technical staff of the research institute. NOT for students working with the licenses - here we expect that you contact your professor or course instructor for help. Also contact info(at)envi-met.com and include your registration e-mail | ||
