Included with this version is the -112 MOD's from LNBL, on-line update of the software via the Internet, complete electronic versions of all DOE-2 manuals, on-line help and a new Graphical User Interface (GUI). The new interface is a 100% Java application and is fully portable across all Java compatible systems and includes a "plug-in" feature that allows users and third parties to write extensions to the interface and then just add them in. FTI has built a library on their web site to post both freeware and commercial plug-in's to promote a free and open environment to benefit the DOE-2 user community. The plug-in architecture offered in the GUI is simple and examples of code and instructions on how to write plug-in's can be found on our web site. Once a plug-in is written you simply copy the JAR file into the plug-in directory and then start the program and the new plug-in is now part of the program. Finite Technologies has been providing a commercial version of the DOE-2 software since 1991. The current version 3.0 is now shipping. Pricing for FTI/DOE is $999 for Windows platforms, please check our web site for pricing on other platforms. |
