 The complete output folder of a simulation contains a large set of different folders and data as described [[filereference:output:start|here]]. From these folders, the ''\atmosphere'' and the ''\input data'' folder are required for a BIO-met simulation.  The complete output folder of a simulation contains a large set of different folders and data as described [[filereference:output:start|here]].

-===== Selecting the Time Range  ===== 
  
-After the output folder has been selected and read, the **Time Range** of the simulation must be set using the Data File Map.  You can select a single file using the left mouse button, a set of single files by pressing SHIFT and the left mouse button or select a continuous time range by defining the first and the last time slice to be simulated. For the latter operation, right click the Data File Map graphics and select the required command.+===== Selecting the Time or Time Range   =====

 In the example below, we have selected a time range starting at 10:00 and ending at 20:00 hours of the first day. These two times plus all available time steps in between will be calculated in the simulation. In the example below, we have selected a time range starting at 10:00 and ending at 20:00 hours of the first day.

-Please note, that all layers excluded from the BIO-met simulation will still be included in the generated output files. Hence, the spatial dimensions of the BIO-met output files are the same as the source ENVI-met model output, but model layers excluded from calculation will only hold "No Data" value data (-999). +Please note, that all layers excluded from the BIO-met simulation will still be included in the generated output files.
