Launch EVA Netmodeler Portal
Reaching the Portal
You can reach the information and support portal from the Inspired website or directly from the main menu within EVA Netmodeler. On the portal you will find news, documents, issues in development, frequently asked questions and
EVA Netmodeler release information. You can also use a provided feature to log an issue that you want attention for. This can be a problem with existing capabilities, or a suggestion for something you would like to see in the
product.
