Hello, I'd like to try the new options RPARALLEL/XPARALLEL in v.10 but they are not available in Multiple start menu, please see the picture. Where to find these options? Thanks I'm also not seeing the parallelization multiple start options in DSS 10.2.1 in the GUI, but I've experimented a bit by d...

Some colleagues and I have been looking at 'classic' system dynamics models that were published in a variety of journals, including Management Science. In doing so, we've come across at least one issue reading these models that were originally published over a decade ago. Specifically, the supportin...

Is there documentation on how interface elements have shifted or changed from version 8.X to 9.0 in Vensim? I'm working to update our introductory material for a System Dynamics course to reflect the new 9.0 interface (which students will be first exposed to this semester in the recent PLE release)....

I would like to be able to generate reports or exports that give something like an adjacency matrix of variables in a model, or equivalently some sort of report around the connections in a diagram or model. I've been making something like this on my own using the .xmile export from Vensim with some ...

I had not noticed the Edit>Or Select>Information Arrows before! That is very helpful! I still wish I could change the "Position Arrow Polarity Mark at the..." radial button en masse, but this is a great help.

As always, thank you.

Is there a way to set default arrow widths and set the 'position polarity mark' radio button values in a global manner, aside from right-clicking on every single arrow individually? My apologies if there is an obvious solution to this, but I've been searching both in Vensim and on this forum and can...

Hi! I would love to see more keyboard shortcuts for layout and sketching (or perhaps the ability to define my own?) beyond what is shown here https://www.vensim.com/documentation/shortcuts.htm Specifically, I'd love to be able to have more intuitive keyboard shortcuts for everything in the Layout me...

I've switched to a totally different monitor setup, using a Samsung LCD TV with HDMI input as my primary. The resolution on this monitor is 1920x1080. I'm still getting the exact same issue. The only difference is I can now set the Compressed Small Font size to 6pts without the crash. I've also trie...

Same thing. The font window pops up, with a default suggestion of 7pts. Clicking ok with either 7 or 8pts (really any font bigger than 5pts) leads to the crash.

Tried to upload a video here, but the file is too large even after compressing. So I placed it on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/347t9F3r5CY This shows the steps I need to recreate the error, which in summary is triggered by having the 'Compressed Small Fonts' size setting to anything larger than 5p...

Renamed the venple.ini file, restarted Vensim (which recreated the venple.ini file). Problem is still present. I need to set the 'Compressed Small Fonts' size value to 5 or smaller in order for the equation editor to open. Anything larger will eventually lead to a full program crash. I'm trying to f...

Attached! I couldn't upload a .ini or .txt file here, so I zipped the .ini file and attached it.

Also two quick notes:
1. Thank you for your incredibly rapid responses!
2. I just noticed that I misspelled 'attempting' in the subject of the topic... that is embarassing

No, this is on my personal machine with the admin account. I've managed to narrow down where the error is coming from and create different circumstances where it pops up or is (semi)resolved: My Windows 10 laptop spends most of its life in a dock, hooked up to an external monitor, running with a dua...

Hello, I just installed Vensim PLE on the recommendation of a System Dynamics textbook I am reading, but am having difficulty getting it to actually run properly. Whenever I attempt to add an equation to an element, I am presented with a dialog box asking me to change the font for some reason. No ma...
