Hi,
For my SD course I want to feed Vensim manual to an LLM support engine to respond to student questions on Vensim. However I don't seem to find any pdf of the manual, or any way to easily download the online manual quickly. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
hazhir

We dropped the PDF a few years ago as trying to maintain something that works via HTML and a document was very difficult.
If you contact me via email, I've still got PDFs of the old manuals if that might help.
Or even better, can the LLM read directly from HTML?

Seems like reading the online html version at
https://www.vensim.com/documentation/index.html would be better than a pdf.

LLMs with internet search capability already do a decent job and offer an interesting starting point:
