-====== The Data/File Structure ====== 
- 
- 
-== What kind of files are needed and created when running ENVI-met? == 
- 
-  
- 
-The files needed and produced by ENVI-met can be distinguished between Input-Files (defining a specific simulation), Database Files (collecting information for all simulations) and Output Files (created by ENVI-met). \\ 
-In addition, two files in the group Other Files are used for special tasks in ENVI-met.\\ 
-\\ 
-The following list gives you an overview of all the files. You can also use this [[graphical chart]] to explore the data flow.\\ 
- 
-\\ 
-**Input Files**

-  * [[Configuration File|The Configuration File .CF]]     
-<fs smaller>Defining the settings for a specific single simulation</fs>
