First time user or not, you should start with the current version of DOE-2,
DOE-2.2. Using any other version would be a waste of time. DOE-2.2 is
significantly different than the earlier versions.
One of the DOE-2.2 vendors had a great quote: "DOE-2.2 is deceivingly
similar to DOE-2.1E." What he meant was that you can use 2.2 just like
2.1E. However, doing so prevents one from using the full potential of 2.2.
I would avoid any of the programs with a graphical interface (PowerDOE,
VisualDOE, etc.) because it is too easy to make mistakes that go un-noticed
and learn bad habits. Regardless of what their marketing literature says,
these interface tools should only be used in the hands of experienced
modelers. I'm sure I will get alot of heat for that statement, but I have
seen a few studies done with those tools that had real flaws buried in the
input files.
As you do your first input files, you should have some experienced DOE-2
modelers review the files. You should also allow yourself a huge amount of
time to complete any project.
HTH.

I have just started searching the internet to obtain DOE-2 software. There
is allot of information out there.
Can anyone advise me on which version of DOE-2 and add-on software would be
best to obtain for a first time user.
(I am familiar with ASEAM 5.0, BLCC, and ERATES).
Thankyou
