Is the difference in results due to changes in the computer environment?

Hello,

I am currently using THERM 7.8.
Even though I set the same boundary conditions (BC) and materials, the results sometimes differ depending on the computer.
Could you please tell me why this happens?

When I transferred the project I worked on using my laptop to a new desktop and ran it there, the results came out differently.
Please help me check this issue.

Thank you!

You should look at the THERM INI file on the two computers, where you can see the program settings -- maybe there is a different setting between the two programs. 

The INI files are located here

C:\Users\Public\LBNL\Settings

These are just text files, so open each with a text editor and compare them -- or better yet use a text file comparison tool to look at them. 

Here is a snippet of the therm7.8.ini file on my computer
