 ====== Download ENVI-met  V3 ======
-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-The model technology of ENVI-met Version 3 can be considered as outdated. This download page is kept up, as long as the Version 4 testing phase is not finalized. However, if there are no good reasons, you should [[files:downloadv4|download Version 4]] instead of V3.1.
+The model technology of ENVI-met Version 3 can be considered as outdated and it contains a number of bugs and missing features. \\
-</WRAP>
+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
-===== Technical remarks =====
+  * 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
-== Memory Requirements ==
+It is highly recommended to not use Version 3.1 any more.
-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.x/10 compatibility ==
-ENVI-met 3.1 will work both on 32 Bit and 64 Bit WINDOWS 7/8 and the previews of WIN10 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.
-== Computing resources  ==
-Be aware, that ENVI-met is a full-scale climate simulation system. Small modells (20x20, 30x30,..) will run as you watch, but large (250x250) models will require days to weeks to simulate data. [[[[kb:compute|Read more...]]
-== 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]]
