Re: publishing a model independently from its directory

It should be independent of the folder. But it's impossible to help further without a published model to look at. If you have hard coded the path to a spreadsheet in the model, then that would cause this problem.

Re: Request of SD advice - Ph.D Thesis results

There are two things I do not like to see when reading papers. 1. Models that have unit errors or missing units. I immediately assume the model is full of errors. If the model cannot past this basic check, then it suggests to me that the author has not taken the time to make sure things are correct ...

Same answer as before, it's impossible to say anything as you haven't uploaded the model. We cannot possibly know why the lines are not moving without seeing the model.

Re: Help with PULSE TRAIN and random variable

SAMPLE IF TRUE will hold a value until something is "true". So create a variable that equals 1 every 365 days, and use that in the call to SAMPLE IF TRUE.

Re: Feature request: make loop polarity direction indicator vector graphics

The old GUI is no longer supported. The new GUI already does quite a lot more than the old (such as vector graphics).

You can also find a SVG of the image you want, save it to the model folder and use that as an image.

Re: Issue with the name run

I'll raise this as a problem. You could try "Ratio of scrapped car = 0.5.vdfx". Traditionally in Vensim, you don't need to specify the filename extension when running a simulation. For example, you can enter "run 01" and Vensim will create "run 01.vdfx". Vensim searches...

You need a custom graph. Open the control panel (button near right of the top toolbar), one of the tabs allows you to create a custom graph with more than one variable.

Re: Unit errors with LOOKUP

Those are actually warnings that you have passed a variable to a lookup that has a unit.

Traditionally, lookups are supposed to have a dimensionless X axis.

The following help entry details what you can do.

The graphic tools are "at a point in time", they will not update during SyntheSim.

But you can add a graph to the sketch, that will update during SyntheSim.
