Re: Vensim 9.2.3 x64, Dell XPS13 running Windows 11 ??

Thanks for the questions - your feedback eliminated the possibility of Vensim 9.2.3/Win 11 interface problems. Problem is with applying Excel365 to open and manipulate the .rep file of an optimization run, which works smoothly with previous Excel issues. Excel 365 shows a mysterious 'value' error wh...

Re: Vensim 9.2.3 x64, Dell XPS13 running Windows 11 ??

I thought the content of my query is quite clear: 1 The suite of programs involved have been developed/applied for 20 years, thus no programmatic problem. 2 At present the operational situation involves a new computer operating on a new operational system - Windows 11 and a new upgrade of Vensim. So...

Vensim 9.2.3 x64, Dell XPS13 running Windows 11 ??

I transferred a Vensim agricultural application (applied annually for 20+ years) to a new Dell XPS13 running Windows 11 and MS Office 365. The program has been used annually from 2017 on a Dell Inspiron running Windows 10 with MSOffice 2016, without programmatic problems. The new Dell XPS13 installa...

Re: How do I re-activate the View/As Text Option?

The real question should be why the "view as text" option is not available in the new model sketch view?

How do I re-activate the View/As Text Option?

The View_ "As Text" option has been removed from Vensim v8.2. I use this option to facilitate annual program, subscript, date and data updates for a comprehensive simulation package for a wine industry. I really need to reactivate this function to be able to meet timescales for the 2021res...

Re: Optimisation and optimisation control functions

Thanks, appreciate the quick reply.
I will probably request some guidelines for application specifics in Ventity - but only after attempting to discover how to initiate and apply the optimizer without guidance 😊

Optimisation and optimisation control functions

I would find Ventity very useful if I can apply it to a Vensim simulation suite that makes extensive use of the Vensim Optimisation Feature to optimise sets of optimisation parameters for subscripted variables.

Re: v6.2 Copy/Cut and Paste problem

Thanks for responding.

Strange as it sounds, the paste problem has not repeated and I cannot recreate it - even after a massive 3 day optimisation run with 11 optimisation elements in the .voc file over a data run of 23 years!

Thanks again for the support!

It manifests after a model has been run - in the problem case a lengthy optimisation run. Following a run the paste simply does not operate - the s...

Re: Vensim v6 crashes when attempting Stochastic Optimisatio

Vensim 6 accepted the control dialogues for stochastic optimisation after a reboot of Win7.

I assume the problem to have been a beta instability (?)

The optimisation works quite well!!

I apply Vensim on a Windows 7 machine and recently installed the Vensim 6 Beta. This afternoon I tried to implement the new Stochastic Optimisation option to an existing and well-used subscripted vineyard model. After a few error messages I appeared to succeed in getting the optimisation and sensiti...

Sorry for the delay! The legend disappears completely from the frame whenever a dataset is added to the graph - either by adding it using the button command or by inintiating a simulation run. The legend literally does a disappearing act - it vanishes, even though the graph size is fixed and enough ...

The legend behaviour in question is not altered by either of the two options. Auto setting makes no difference to the disappearing act - it was set to custom to enable accurate sizing and positioning of the graph and legend.

No, the size is not the problem, I checked that first off. Positioning by customising the legend placement makes no difference either. A custom graph will not do either, I need multiple traces!

I could reboot and go have a beer though!! :(
