what you are explaining may work when the number of units is large. In my model these are energy production plants that I install and uninstall. They must be whole numbers and not half factories. And they have specific lifespans.

OK for the new version. But I have the impression of always falling on the bugs of Vensim... Regarding the question of the conveyors, I do not understand what you are saying. If I want the power plant to remain in the conveyor for the duration of its lifespan, the lifespan has to be 40 years. I must...

What is the new GUI?
No, I think I am with the old one since it says "switch to new sketch (beta)
The text editor doesn't work in the old or new version.

I am modelling the energy sector and some power plants have 40 years of lifetime.

Hello,I am on Windows. Last week I have installed the latest version 8.1.0 of the Vensim DSS. For me, since I have lots of datas to enter to initialise the conveyors (18 subscripts over 40 years) it would be easier just to take them from an excel file with one line the time and one line the datas. T...

Hello, I had finally succeeded in initializing my lookup (before I did not do correctly to choose the file in "simulation control") but now when I want to edit file to see the lookups.CIN file it suddenly closes VENSIM. And I didn't do anything new except install the new version of VENSIM ...

Hello,
I've made a bit of progress on the issue of CIN files and the initialisation of lookups. However, when I change Something in the CIN and then Simulate and "load changes from" it does'nt take the changes into account. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Anne

I'm new to VENSIM and I'm having a really hard time with data management. How do you create a CIN file? And would it be possible to initialize the conveyor with information year by year rather than like this: (2010,0),(2021,0),(2021,1),(2022,1), (2022,6),(2023,6),(2023,5),(2024,5), (2024,3),(2026,3)...

Hello,
Thank you for your quick answer. I will look at your proposal. I don't know the CIN files...
Did you have time to look further where there is a bug?

Thanks,

Hello, I am using the delay conveyor function to exit units from a stock precisely each year. I have two error messages: bad lookup initializing delay floating point error Are these two errors related Sometimes when I start a run it even crashes Vensim which closes suddenly and then the file closes ...
