Ventana software support forum

Thanks Tom,
But how about historical data?

Hi Tom,
please how can I import data into PLE using a text editor? I will really appreciate simple tips from you. Thanks

Thanks Tom

Hi Tom,
Please I am trying to find a compatible text editor to enable me import a .DAT dataset into PLE. I tried Notepad but I didn't get the .DAT file extension. Can you recommend any? thanks

Hi Tom,
thanks for always patiently answering questions however 'ridiculous' they may sound. I use PLE and I would like to know whether it is possible to develop a simple business game. Thanks

Hi Tom,
Please how does the EMA software work with vensim? How is the EMA approach to modeling different from doing several simulation runs within a model to generate insights? What are the benefits/uses of the EMA? Is it compatible with all versions of vensim including PLE? Thanks

Hi Tom,
Please how can I show dates on my graph timeline rather than numbers? For example 10 years as year 2000-2010 and not 1-10.
I use ple. Thanks

Hi Tom,
Please can you advise me on how to use the FIFO function in vensim ple? Can it be used in an inventory management model? The manual does not seem detailed enough. Thanks

Hi Tom, When I am trying to publish a model, I save it as a binary format file and then click "publish". In the dialog box that appears, I just don't alter anything again and hit publish. Is there something else I am supposed to do in the publish dialog box? Please advise me on how to publ...

Hi Tom,
I tried the .vpm you uploaded and the embedded graphs were active during synthesim in the model reader. Is it about how I publish models?

Hi Tom,
I am using Windows 8.1 os. It baffles me why the graphs are not active in the model reader. Is there a special way I am supposed to save and publish a model with embedded graphs?

I guess I have the latest version of the model reader. The embedded graphs are active in vensim ple but inactive in the model reader

Hi Tom,
I have, embedded in this model, output graphs which are not active during synthesim mode in the model reader except in vensim. How am i supposed to save such a file so that the embedded graphs are active? I will be looking forward to your thouhgts soon. Thanks

Does that mean that I should save my model as a .vgd when I am publishing it so that the graphs embedded in the model will be active in the model reader also?

Hello Tom,
Please I have noticed that the output graphs of simulation results in a model which are active during a synthesim manipulation of variables are not active during the same synthesim manipulation of variables in the model reader. Why is that sir? Thanks

Thanks Tom, but can you explain a little bit how you can develop simple games in PLE with SyntheSim? Thanks

Hello,
Please I wish to know what other functions PLE+ has above PLE, and can one develop scenario games on PLE+? Thanks

Please what discrete function can I use to ensure that the flow into a stock is not constant prompting the stock to increase linearly. I am trying to model accounting ledgers whose values are discrete (occur once and stop) not continuous. For example how can I make a value of say 500 go into the sto...

I have attached the J-I-T System model i just finished working on. The model exhibits the behaviors i expected of a real life J-I-T system, but i am having troubles solving its unit problems.

Can you be specific about how I can manipulate variables? Can I change variable values like constants and run a simulation?

Hello,
What does the "Reform and Clean" option do for a model? Also, what is the usefulness of "Reality Check" and how can it be used? I use PLE

I use VensimPLE and I observed that I cannot manipulate the variables of a model I published using the model reader; I can only check simulation results. Can anything be done about that?

Please what is the best way to ensure dimensional consistency in your model so that when you run a Units check there are no errors? I use PLE
