Software/Versions Affected:

  • RESFEN›5

The underlying database structure and content has changed from RESFEN 5.0 Beta 1 and Beta 2. The program should automatically update databases from these previous Beta versions, but if this does not happen, zip the problem database and email it to [email protected] and we will try to convert it to the new format. One of the basic changes to the database is that the native units is now SI rather than IP in order to be consistent with other LBNL software, in particular WINDOW5. This change is invisible from the user interface, but older databases will have input in IP units that will need to be changed to SI, which the program should do automatically.
