- | So, the model core of V4 is more or less fixed since 2012, the last 2 years were and probably the next year will be required to handle all the circumstances around the naked model core and to figure out all of the combinations one can think of. | ||
- | ENVI-met is used in over 130 countries, from the tropics to Australia and back up to Russia. Can you image how many never-though-of constellations of model analysis appear in all this different zones of the world. It is our aim to make ENVI-met available to any user from wherever she or he comes and whatever issue (within the scope of ENVI-met) is addressed. For us, that makes the heart of an holistic model such as ENVI-met and the thrill to make it happen keeps us running. | + | ENVI-met is used in over 130 countries, from Europe to the tropics |
