EED_Languages.zip


Version 3.14 update
June 8, 2009:

· EED now handles unicode characters. Three new languages are added: Chinese (simplified), Russian, and Japanese. EED 3.14 contains translation for 19 languages Note that the new language text files (e.g. for German: Lang_menu_ger.txt, Lang_in_ger.txt, Lang_out_ger.txt) now are saved in UNICODE format. Files used by earlier version of EED (3.00-3.13) were saved in ANSI and cannot be used directly. If you have made any changes to our language files you need to re-open them in e.g. Notepad and save them in UNICODE format.

· Fixed error message "EED is registered but ActiveX does not exists". This alert came in some cases for a user without admin rights running EED under Vista and XP.  Administrator can install EED for "Current user" or "All users".

Version 3.13 update
2009-01-14:

· Output results can now be opened in Excel. This will give easier access to data for mean fluid temperatures, heat extraction rate and monthly energy profile. See menu item "Export to xls-file and open it" in the output result window.

· Temperature charts now uses Fahrenheit when English units is selected.

· Graphics for borehole configurations (added in EED 3.11, see below) with U-shape was drawn incorrectly for N1xN2 where N2>N1.

Version 3.12 update
2008-10-08:

· Corrected error message that was wrong in version 3.11: "The error message “Warning: Fluid minimum temp. accuracy not met!” was sometimes shown when using F9 (solve mean fluid temp) even though simulation was ok.

Version 3.11 update
2008-09-24:

· Graphics added for borehole and heat exchanger, see figures below. Shank spacing may graphically be changed for U-pipes.
