Re: Venapp time display

It is correct, but only because I left the GAMECONTROL page, which the table is on, and then returned to it. Before I left the page the table showed only column 1 after each time step, like this, http://simulations.russellpartnership.tech/download/table2.PNG I can upload the files in a short while. ...

Re: Venapp time display

I'm nearly there! I have a table as an output in my Venapp control screen, shown below. The time now refreshes when the 'Forward' button is pressed, but the table doesn't. It only displays column 1 (the run is time 1 -31), unless I leave the screen and then return, at which point it has refreshed al...

Re: Gamed variable with subscript in Venapp

Thanks. Given that all I need to do is to present the users with a list of all 31 variable choices each timestep, your suggestion should work fine, thank you. As usual, I just wanted to check I wasn't missing an obvious trick!

Re: Gamed variable with subscript in Venapp

Perhaps a better question would be, 'how do I offer a subscripted gamed variable for user input in Venapp?', rather than citing a specific case!!

Re: Modelling a stock with a time constraint

Great advice, thanks Tom. I thought I would create the basic model in parallel in Vensim and Ventity (beta), to help me understand the fundamental differences.

It is a model involving the sale of seats on an aircraft and we have one aircraft, with 100 seats, making one f...

A very minor point, I know, but you say this is release 654, yet the 'About Ventity' info doesn't say that.

Thank you for the new beta release extending access to January. The accompanying email mentioned time series data support and I would be very keen to see the ability to link Ventity (and Vensim, come to that) to an online database such as MySQL. Currently, we have to get a client's IT department inv...

Re: Problem adding columns to builtin dataset editor

Thanks Tom. I had tried making a duplicate of the dataset, but that didn't make any difference. Adding a new one, though, did include the pastures attribute, which I had added after creating the original dataset, as you say.

Here's the model I am referring to. I would be very interested to know if anyone else can see the Pastures column on the Cows tab in the 'BuiltIn: many pastures' input data table (or point out where I've gone wrong). In the model as I am viewing it, there doesn't seem to be a way to link the cows to...

I followed the exercises in the Ventity manual and got as far as exercise 3 without any problems. I tried to move straight from exercise 2 to exercise 3 so, having finished exercise 2 and leaving the program open, I added the 'Cows' entity, then the associated auxiliary variable and attribute.

Thank you both. I had thought of the PULSE variable, but wasn't sure, as it's use isn't very clear from the Vensim manual, but it worked very well. Excellent help, as usual.
