| This section contains several example projects users can import and run with STEM. STEM is designed to allow collaboration |
| and sharing of work by simply importing and exporting projects from your workspace. For information on how to import a project |
| please see: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Importing_and_Exporting_Projects |
| for more information on each demo please see: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Sample_Projects_available_for_Download |

| The evacuation demo requires a STEM built from July 15 2011, or later |
| |
| The Automated Experiment Example requires a STEM build from Sept 2, 2010 or later |
| |
| The Multi-population Example requires a STEM build from Aug 31, 2010 or later |
| |
| The Square Lattice Demo available here Require STEM version dated July 1, 2010 or later |
| |
| The SuperContinentExample project requires GlobalGeography to exist in the STEM workspace before it any of the examples can run. |
| |
| Some of the example projects you can download are very large as they contain continents or even groups of continents. Before you |
| try to run any of these large scenarios you must make sure you allocate enough system memory for STEM. If you don't do this the |
| application may hang or crash with a "Heap Space" error. |
| |
| To allocate enough memory in Windows, create a shortcut for launching STEM. You may place this anywhere (e.g., on your desktop or on the quicklaunch |
| bar). |
| |
| Right click on the shortcut. |
| Select "Properties" |
| You should see a field in the Properties Dialogue labeled Target: |
| to the right in the text field you will see something like |
| C:\stem_builds\stem\STEM.exe -vmargs -Xms812M -Xmx812M |
| |
| To launch STEM with more memory you must add "virtual machine arguments" to the target line. |
| For example, Target: |
| C:\stem_builds\stem\STEM.exe -vmargs -Xms896M -Xmx896M |
| Should work for the demo projects available. |
| |
| On MAC OS X, using the finder, navigate to where the STEM application is located, right click and select "Show Package Content". |
| Navigate to Contents->MacOS and open the STEM.ini file in an editor. Change the -Xms and the -Xmx lines to increase the |
| memory, e.g. -Xms896M -Xmx 896M or more depending on how much memory is available. |
