Floating point overflow

Student · Post by **Student** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 6:15 pm

Good evening and happy Easter to everyone,

I've just joined the Vensim forum and I'm in the need of some help.
The error I'm encountering is the floating point overflow error. Searching the forum for this well known problem and reading related posts while applying several answers and solutions to my problem, did not help me out. The two most significant solutions were; 1.Make sure that you are not dividing by zero
2.Wrong Simulation settings and data overflow
I think the model and its settings are accurate, please can someone help me?

Chapter 7 of the User's Guide provides techniques for tracing floating point errors. In your model at time 0.5 you have

cumulatief ooit geinstalleerde capaciteit T2 -403.49

which is not valid for use with the ^ operator.

Thank you for the reply!
I've adjusted the model and it works correctly now.
