Does anyone know how to covert a .mdl to R code? I know that Jim Duggan has published a book "System Dynamics Modeling with R." However, I have not really seen any means to do any kind of conversion (such as with XMILE).

Thank you.

Ok, I see what you mean. I zoomed in and saw the arrows have handles that I can use to rescale them. Thank you for the tips to better manage the visual space.

Rescaling did not help. I basically deleted, then redrew them. I was hoping for a more global approach since I have very large models.

@tomfid - Thank you! Worked like a charm . . .

When I open my legacy model files in Vensim 9.0.0, it renders some of the causal arrows as large hoops (see attached graphics files). These are working causal arrows between variables. Is there a way to globally correct?

Thank you,
James

I am running Vensim Version 9.0.0 - Updating a file created in an earlier version of Vensim 8.X I needed to globally update the naming convention of two classes of variables in the attached model: - EBPsych to EBPsy - Psych to PSY I followed the steps below: 1. Changed view to "View as Text&quo...

Here are the models. I just reran the PSY model. After it runs, it shuts down my Vensim client.

Thanks for you rapid response on a Sunday!

Also, the ability to save a model as .xmile did work before. So the problem seems to be of lately.

2 Issues Persist 1. Not all models successfully export to .xmile. We have a suite of 5 models. We are able to convert to .xmile without issue in 3 of the 5 models using the commands you specified earlier in the thread using Vensim version 7.2. In the three models that successfully save-as .xmile, I ...

Thank you! We will check it out.

Is there a .cmd available to accomplish the conversion of a .mdl to a .xmile file? We are attempting to automate a conversion process. I have looked at Vensim version 7.2 and 7.3, DSS commercial. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks @tomfid we will check it out.

Thank you @tomfid for the advice. We are attempting to script the conversion to run from the command line using Vensim DLL commands. We are running Vensim DSS on Windows 10, 64 Bit. We have run other commands like "FILE>COPY" and "FILE>DELETE" successfully. However, the mdl to vm...

I am attempting to integrate a Vensim model in text form (.mdl) into GitHub. That will enable us to also integrate dependent markdown documents elsewhere in the repository. However, since the model is executed in Forio-Epicenter, it must also be saved as a binary (.vmf) file. Can anyone tell me if t...
