Hi,
I have 2min. to write you a quick response; then I have to do something that my management wants done before close of business today...
1. Read the Troubleshooting section of the CHyMS FAQ; for example,
chyms.nrc.gc.ca/docs/FAQ.html#troublesho...es-a-good-bug-report
2. Read the following CHyMS entry to understand which version to use... alpha/beta/release
chyms.nrc.gc.ca/docs/FAQ.html#beginners-...wnload-which-version
- Note that I do not support old betas nor do I support old alphas
- If you wish to purchase support for those old ones, I am certainly open to that; but I'd prefer to fix the most recent alpha instead. This, of course, means that you would have to be patient while I address the issues I have lined up. Currently I have 300 open issues, so naturally, I will favour those projects that are able to fund development/fixes...
3. Know that I do not have funds to directly support all of your questions... so the simpler and more direct you can make them the easier it is for me and the more likely I will do it and then you will get a fix. For example, boil things down to 1 clear issue at a time...
4. A new user manual is being updated. It will be released at the end of December 2019. Some things will still be missing, but it is a start towards trying to keep some of the documentation up-to-date.
5. I have been working on fixing attributes for over a year. There are over 900 "files" in the system with over 20 years of work involved.
- If you do not know... meshes have attributes. "Anonymous attribute" is the name I have given to an attribute that has been automatically created behind your back for some reason internally. It is a work in progress because not all control paths have been checked and fixed (yet).
Hope this helps a little... I will likely be able to respond a little more later this week
Kindly,
Alan
