-ENVI-met V3.1 (Beta) is the recent stable version of ENVI-met including LEONARDO 3.75 (see remark below). It is labelled "BETA" because some of the documentation has not been updated from V3.0, but the changes are small.+<WRAP center round info 60%> 
 +The model technology of ENVI-met Version 3 can be considered as outdated and it contains a number of bugs and missing features. \\ 
 +The main drawbacks are:  
 +  * No way to include climate trends (regional influences, climate change scenarios,..) into the simulation 
 +  * Heat storage in buildings is not considered. Therefore bad estimation of urban heat island effect 
 +  * Complex vegetation such as trees do not exist as individual objects and the behaviour such as transpiration cannot be handled on the correct scale. 
 +  * Many bugs  
 +It is highly recommended to not use Version 3.1 any more. 
  
-===== Technical remarks =====+After one year of public testing, this download page has now been shut down.  
 +If you are an old user of V 3.1 it is now time to move on to Version 4. \\ 
 +If you are a new user- Welcome to ENVI-met! Please go ahead with Version 4. \\
  
-== Memory Requirements == +Please continue here: [[files:downloadv4|ENVI-met]]. 
- +
-Depending on the size of your model domain, we recommend to have at least 2 GByte of RAM in your PC.  +
-Smaller domains will work on 1 GByte PCs as well, but there won't be much space for other things then.... +
-However, memory is a cheap thing today so it should not be a problem to upgrade your computer to any memory size needed... +
- +
-== WINDOWS 7/8.0/8.1 compatibility == +
- +
-ENVI-met 3.1 will work both on 32 Bit and 64 Bit WINDOWS 7/8 systems. However, there are some conditions under which you might find problems using ENVI-met. +
-These can mainly be overcome following these steps: +
- +
-      * Make sure that you have installed ENVI-met in a folder where you have full read/write access. This is normally **NOT** the "program files" folder. Use some other folder instead. ENVI-met can be installed in any folder on any drive +
-      * Try to avoid spaces in filenames and foldername. Although this should work most of the times, it can be a pitfall which is easy to avoid. +
- +
-== AddOn2014: LEONARDO 2014 & BioMet== +
-The [[files:addon|AddOn2014 package]] is an additional download that updates to LEONARDO 2014 and adds ENVI-met BioMet to V3.1 systems. It is recommended, that after installing ENVI-met V3.1, you install this package to upgrade LEONARDO and install BioMet. For download see below or [[files:addon|here]] +
- +
-== Installation remarks == +
- +
-The setup is like any other WINDOWS setup. ENVI-met does not require any WINDOWS registry entries to run, except those used to handle the icon display of files and the automatic file type detection. \\ If you don't need these, you can use ENVI-met as a portable software. \\ +

-===== Questions about ENVI-met? ===== +
- +
-If you have questions of any kind about ENVI-met and its application, checkout our forum at [[http://www.envi-met.info/envibbv3/]]. A free registration is required to read/post. \\ +
-Before you post, ask yourself: +
-  * Have my questions been asked & answered before? →If YES, don't post. Maybe extend the old forum thread with new aspects. +
-  * Can I answer my question with a bit of thinking and the manual? →If YES, don't post. +
-  * Can my answer be found in the technical papers about ENVI-met? →If YES, don't post. +
-  * Is there any chance somebody can actually answer my question? (Q like "I get strange temperature results, what went wrong?" without showing any other information such as plots, configuration files or Area Input files do not make any sense) +
-  * Does my question make sense? Questions like "Why is the temperature of my simulation different to the one I have meassured?" cannot be answered. There are heaps of papers and Ph.D on the question how to choose input parameters and where are the limits of a model simulation. Get into them... +
