Frequently asked questions

Chronomodel can be very demanding in terms of system resources, depending on your models. If you create hundreds of objects and run calculations with millions of iterations, your RAM will need to be large enough. The speed of your CPU controls the calculation time but does not prevent Chronomodel from working correctly.

There are no minimum system requirements, as the simple models will work on almost any configuration.

The application can be run on Mac OS X (12 and above), Windows (10 and above) and Linux (tested on Ubuntu and debian 12).

No, not at the moment. ChronoModel only lets you open one project at a time.
But on windowsOs, you can open ChronoModel several times. Please note, however, that in this case, you must not change the reference curves.

When ChronoModel is installed, we no longer automatically install the calibration curves for each method. This is to avoid deleting the curves you have modified.
It is still possible to load the curves one by one via the preferences menu of the application.
On our GitHub page we provide a method to install a default set of curves for each method.

Here is the procedure to install the intcal20.14c calibration file in ChronoModel.

The curve is available here :
https://intcal.org/curves/intcal20.14c

Right-click to save the target as “intcal20.14c”.

To use it in ChronoModel, click "Application Settings" and add the selected curve to the 14C plugin references.

 You can change all the reference curves of a model at once, with the "Actions" menu.
 Select the Events to change (be careful if you have a mix of Atmospheric and Marine curves).
 Click on "Selected Events with 14C: Change Ref. Curves".
