[esp-r] Re: Help Esp-R - new links for ESP-r documents and training materials

FIRST: ensure that your computer operating system locale is USA or UK so that real numbers use
a dot for the decimal place rather than a comma for the decimal.  A comma decimal will rubbish the
model instantly.  ESP-r will be very confused and will not work.

version 11.7 is old.  Here is a link to a version that is a few weeks old:

Thank you again for your help.

One error when I was trying to build a geometrical zone.
I followed exactly all the instruction given in the Cookbook handbook ( pages 34 - 39 ) step by step, but the program give me this error :

Area of zone surf 2 is less than 0.00001 m^2.
Other geometrical properties may be incorrect.

After receiving messages for every surf zone, I checked for the vertex coordinates. It seems that the program is not recognising the Y coordinates.
I don't know why. I also tried to rewrite the vertices correctly but the result is also the same: all the Y coordinates are zero.

What can I do?

Again, the information about my installation : using windows native version 11 v 7
