Ventana software support forum

Hi, a question about functionality of model reader.
In the past we purchased Vensim Application Runtime to allow an external user to run an existing model through a Venapp interface. I've just read on the Vensim website that Vensim Application Runtime functionalities have been incorporated within the Model Reader. However, it seems to me that the Model Reader does not support Venapp interfaces (I just can't find a way to open an interface from the reader). Am I right or I'm missing something with the Model Reader?
If I'm right, what software external users should purchase to use a model through Venapp without allowing them to open the model, change it, etc.?
Thanks in advance

To enable a Venapp for use with the model reader publish the Venapp using the File>Publish command. The resulting file will have the extension .vpa

If you have an older version of Vensim DSS you may need to extend your maintenance as the publish command is relatively new.

Great! Thanks Bob!
