Running Ventity on a Mac using a Windows emulator

I have been trying to install and run Ventity 3.0.2 32 bit in CrossOver Mac 19.0.2. It seems to install okay, but each time I try to run it, a Ventity menu bar briefly appears, but then the software shuts down immediately. This happens on both my MacMini and my MacBookPro. Has any had any success in...

Re: Running VenSim Pro 8.0.9 in Crossover v 19.0.1

I was able to successfully get this to work with the 32-bit versions of VensimPLE and VensimPro. In referring to the 64-bit versions, my contact at CrossOver wrote that "That version must require some other dependency that it's specific to that version. It would be a 64 bit library of some sort...

Running VenSim Pro 8.0.9 in Crossover v 19.0.1

After some continued frustration using Vensim Pro on my Mac, I decided to try running the Windows version using Crossover. I was able to install it fine, but when I tried to run Vensim Pro, I received a message indicating that " “There is no Windows program configured to open this type of file....

Re: Vensim PLE MAC v8 unstable on student machine.

Roderick, I was wondering if you be able to provide me with some assistance. I was able to download and install version 8.0.9 of VenSim Pro under Crossover version 19.0.1, but when I try to run the software, I receive the message “There is no Windows program configured to open this type of file.” DO...

Re: Vensim PLE MAC v8 unstable on student machine.

I and my students are also having similar issues. I am personally running 8.0.9 PLE on a MacBook Pro using the latest version of Catalina. The crashes happen in a number of models and at various times. Hard to see any real pattern yet. One other quirk. When I am using my machine with additional scre...

Lookup tables in SyntheSim

I recently created a version of the Car Lot model in Meadows' Thinking in Systems , in which I specified customer demand as a Lookup table so that I could see the effect of different temporal patterns of customer demand. Everything works fine, but when I use SyntheSim and modify the values for custo...

Re: Stop When Reaching to Zero

Thanks for the advice. I guess it is better to have TIME STEP as an input to the flow on the diagram.

Re: Stop When Reaching to Zero

Another, perhaps simpler way to do this without adding in a new auxiliary variable (desired outflow) is to modify the equation for the stock from: Stock = INTEG( inflow - outflow, init stock) to Stock = INTEG(max(inflow-outflow,-Stock/TIME STEP), init stock) As light disadvantage to this is, in your...

I am having the same problem. I am using the latest versions of VensimPLE and VensimPro on a Mac running Catalina. When I insert a new comment, the Bitmap and Metafile buttons are greyed out, even though there is an image on the clipboard. I have also tried to use the Import button, which did allow ...

I have installed the latest Beta version on both a 64-bit Windows machine and a 32-bit Windows machine, the latter running under Virtual Box on a Mac. In both cases, when I try to start the software, I received an error. I attach the error message from the 32-bit machine. I have not tried to use any...

Title Bar does not show Workbench Variable in Mac version

Hi, I am using Vensim PLE version 6.2 in my systems class and we just had our first session where I had them work through the Hands-on example. The students using Macs noticed that the Title Bar does not show the name of the Workbench Variable and I cannot figure out how to fix this. Is this a gener...
