MAC AND PC OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: If you wish to learn more about the MELTS suite of codes, more information may be found here. The user does not need access to 'stand-alone' MELTS to run MCS. It is necessary that the user has administrative rights for successful installation of the MCS package. The installation instructions for both operating systems are included in the downloaded content.
Instructions immediately below refer to system requirements and peculiarities associated with Excel on the Mac and the PC.įull download of the MCS- PC version and the MCS- Mac version follows below. This page is the link to the current version for download (PC and Mac). The MCS codes and documentations undergo periodic upgrades to fix minor bugs, add graphical and post-simulation codes and to make major upgrades.
These arise due to machine differences in handling floating-point operations and the vagaries of different OS. Development on the PC and Mac are parallel so that no differences should be noted except perhaps very small differences in significant figures for some numerical values (far smaller than model uncertainty). The MCS runs on both the PC and Mac computers.
