Hello Ventana team,
I have a bug to report today. In SyntheSim mode, variables that use the GET DIRECT CONSTANTS statement are supposed to show a slider below them, so their values can be adjusted interactively.
In DSS this works fine. However, in Model Reader, the slider only appears for GET DIRECT CONSTANTS variables that are not subscripted. Subscripted ones lack the slider.
To reproduce the issue, you can download v2.0.0 of the U.S. Energy Policy Simulator here: https://us.energypolicy.solutions/eps-a ... 0.0-us.zip
Open EPS.vpm either in DSS or in Model Reader. Search for the variable "VTStFES Vehicle Technologies Subject to Fuel Economy Standard"
Enter SyntheSim mode. If in DSS, you'll see that this variable has a slider:
If in Model Reader, you'll see it lacks a slider:
You can compare that variable to the pink variable above it in the model, "EoFoNVFE Effect of Feebate on New Veh Fuel Economy." That variable has a slider in both DSS and Model Reader because it's not subscripted.

I've just uploaded 8.0.5, this bug should be fixed in it.
To make the sliders appear, run the simulation once using Model->Simulate, and under the changes tab, make sure you tick "Overwrite get...constants" equations. The sliders should now appear ok.

Hi there,
I'm still having this issue in Model Reader (using 8.0.6).
When I click "Simulate" there is no "Changes" tab that appears.
The "Changes" tab only appears when I run "SyntheSim" mode.
Once in SyntheSim, the only options in the "Changes" tab are "Read Additional Changes from File" and "Write Changes Made to .cin File"

Did you re-publish the model after ticking the "Overwrite get...constants" in DSS?
