exporting data during gaming

Post by sarquitt@gmail.com »

I would like to run Vensim DDS in gaming mode and export the values of several model variables to an excel spreadsheet. I would like to do this at each interval of the game, for example at the end of each year, over-writing the previous year’s values.

What would be the best approach to take?

Thank you.

There are three options.

1. Write an external function.
2. You could try running a post simulation command script to export the VDF file and export to CSV. You would then need to import the values in Excel.
3. Use DDE from Excel to get the values from Vensim.
