The Headquarter interface is divided into four tabs: ENVI-met, Data and Settings, System, and Interactive. If you want to watch our tutorial on how to get started with the ENVI-met Headquarter, please follow this link.

The ENVI-met Tab includes the remainder of the ENVI-met Software Suite programs. They are the essential tools needed for simulating, editing, visualizing and post-processing your model.

Manage projects (1) gives you the option to define a different workspace or organize your current projects. Your current selected project workspace is indicated on the right side of this tab.

Import from QGIS (2) is a dropdown-menu that allows to to import model areas from either QGIS, Rhinoceros or SketchUp

Edit model area (3) allows you to edit and inspect a model area in 3D. The raster-based SPACES allows you to create and edit your model area in the cell-based structure typical for the ENVI-met environment.

The Simulation Settings (4) allow you to define your simulation settings based on three different levels. The basic level allows you to adjust the initial meteorological conditions, whereas the higher levels allow you to choose between multitudes of advanced settings. As an output, this program creates the simulation file (*.SIMX) needed to run a simulation with ENVI_MET.

Start Simulation(5) is the heart of the ENVI-met Software Suite. With this program, the simulation is run depending on the options you have defined in the other programs. The results of this program are saved in the EDX/EDT file format.

The post-processing tool to Simulate Thermal Comfort (6) provides options for calculating Human Thermal Comfort Indices from your ENVI-met model output files.

You can Visualize Results (7) as 2D or 3D maps and analyze the results written during the simulation run.

The Materials and Objects Library (8) allows you to create and modify customized materials and to look up the attributes of the elements within the system database. All elements used in your model area, such as materials, walls, soils, simple plants, sources etc., can be found and adapted here.

You can look up existing system 3D plants in the Tree Library (9) and create your own custom 3D plants.

The ENVI-met button (1) links you to the ENVI-met Homepage to get more detailed information about ENVI-met. You can join our user forum via the shortcut (2) to browse and discuss topics with other users and our development team. The help tab also connects you with our YouTube channel (3) and gives you access to tutorial data that helps you learn using the Software (4). You can get information about your current ENVI-met license (5) and register or change the license (6).
