When you start to get in touch with ENVI-met, you should build **small** models, e.g. in the size of 30x30 grids. These models will run very quickly and you will get your results very soon. You will also get back negative feedback very soon, if your model cannot be simulated properly due to the selected settings or other issues. | When you start to get in touch with ENVI-met, you should build **small** models, e.g. in the size of 30x30 grids.

When you run large models, you will occupy your computer, or at least parts of it, for a long time. Although -depending on your PC- it might be possible to run even large ENVI-met simulations on your PC and keep on using it for your daily work at the same time, this is not recommended. It will significantly slow down both the ENVI-met simulation and your daily work. | When you run large models, you will occupy your computer, or at least parts of it, for a long time.

As ENVI-met runs on WINDOWS systems only, Microsoft Azure is the first choice, simply because they offer pre-configured machines running WINDOWS. Once registered, you can easily select between a number of recent WINDOWS versions (mostly the Server versions) plus you can select the hardware you would like to have. As "to have" means "to buy" this of course defines the cost of your cloud adventure. Selecting a PC with 12 cores and a i7 CPU for example will get pretty expensive. However, you will only be charged for the time the PC is actually up and working... | As ENVI-met runs on WINDOWS systems only, Microsoft Azure is the first choice, simply because they offer pre-configured machines running WINDOWS.
