 Consequently, a plant called "a0" used in simulation X will be the same plant in simulation Y, unless you change the database between the simulations.  Consequently, a plant called "a0" used in simulation X will be the same plant in simulation Y, unless you change the database between the simulations. 
  
-This also means, that if someone gives you a set of simulations where some new plants (soils,profiles,...) are defined, you need to extend you local database first with these new plants (....) before running the simulation. As this turned out to be confusing in most of the cases, ENVI-met allows also to define **local databases** for plants and sources. These databases can be stored anywhere and they are added on demand to the global data set (see link list below for more information). +This also means, that if someone gives you a set of simulations where some new plants (soils, profiles,...) are defined, you need to extend you local database first with these new plants (....) before running the simulation.

 All database files are simple ASCII-files, such as the area input files or the configuration files. The benefit is, that you do not need any databases system to edit and use the files. The drawback is that you must carefully follow the format rules of the databases, otherwise information will be mixed up. All database files are simple ASCII-files, such as the area input files or the configuration files.
