Big model in Vensim PLE, variables went missing after save and re-opening

Post by tanandrew90 »

Hi,

I'm using Vensim PLE 6.4E (x32).

I have developed a big model (nearly 300 variables of stocks, auxiliaries and flows) and recently when i save and re-opened it, some parts of the model (variables) went missing or hidden. When I tried to find out if they got deleted (by clicking shadow variable and looking at the list of variables), apparently they aren't and they still exist. There is also no way (that i know of) to make them appear.

I would like to know if there are any limits on the Vensim PLE version?

Thanks in advanced for assistance.

There are no limits on model size in PLE.

Could it be that you have hidden some variables?

No, i did not hide anything prior to saving. All I did was made the model slightly larger, save, close vensim and reopen.

Can you post the model so we can take a look? If you also have a backup copy, that would be useful for comparison.
