If you are a current FlexTerm licensed user, you can download the installer from your account in FlexSim website and obtain your FlexTerm license code there. For FlexSim CT users, the trial version of the program is available in your FlexSim account as well.

Below is a list of FlexTerm 1.0 features since FlexSim CT 3.3.

equipment types, empty and reefer containers, container height and weight as
well as the ability of generating user-defined container attributes.
* Provide a way in container profile to generate container population based on
the proportion specified. The proportion can be inputted based on the dependency
specified among container attributes.

Thanks very much!

1) The models made in CT 3.3 can be run without any problems in new Flexterm 1.0?

2) Can be installed with CT 3.3 like Flexsim 7.02?

I want to know about it.

Thanks.

Syseo,

1) FlexTerm 1.0 supports backwards compatibility with FlexSim CT 3.3 models. When you open a CT 3.3 model in FlexTerm, FlexTerm will automatically update the CT 3.3 components to compatible FlexTerm 1.0 components. If you experience any issues when using a CT 3.3 model in FlexTerm, please send an email to [email protected] or post in the FlexSim CT forum here.

2) If I understand your question correctly, FlexTerm 1.0 can be installed alongside CT 3.3.

Regards,

Lawrence Andres

Hi

Is there a place that I can download without going through the registration? Such as User Login?

David,


if you already have a CT license, you can download the FlexTerm installer from your FlexSim user account as well.
