Ventana software support forum

I need the structure and vensim equations for the macro "DELAY FIXED( {in} , {dtime} , {init} )" I appreciate any help!

I use Xcommand and "Execute Script:SableScript.returntoscreen()" to create a button that when I click return me from the current screen that the button is to the previous screen. But it does not work and when I click on the button, nothing happens. Any hint for what I want to do.

I have made a game. When I run it, at the end of each time interval of the game a pop out message appears on the screen saying "The simulation has finished" and I should click on "OK" before I can continue the game for the next time interval. How can I stop sable showing this mes...

I found the solution by getting help from Ventana. The proble was that when I wanted to encrypt my files I first loaded them and then tried to encrypt. So I used the following sequence of commands: SPECIAL>LOADRUN|C:Mymodel foldermyfile.vdf FILE>ENCRYPT|myfile.vdf But one should not ever use LOADRUN...

When running a script in Vensim to encrypt model files to be run by Sable, I get an error message for vdf files. The error says it cannot load them. And when I run Sable with other encrypted model files (vgf and vmf), things work except for when I want to run a simulation. These an error saying it c...

Where can I find an example of combo box used in a project? In the examples that you supply with the software there is no a combo box. Can you send me a small sable project that uses combo. It will be helpful to include an example with combo box and if possible with all the tools available in Sable.

As I distributed the beta version of the application, the users who are testing it and MDs, are not satisfied with the speed of simulation when they run a game. As they run the model, they are happy with the speed of simulation, but in the gaming environment the simulation slows down. Is there any w...

I was using a vensim model with my sable project with no problem. I encrypted the vensim model and successfuly used it with sable runtime. However, when I decrypted the same model with vensim, while I was able to read the decrypted model with vensim, my sable project was not able to load the decrypt...

In a combo box, I am using an auxiliary variable that is qualified as a gaming variable. This auxiliary variable is set equal to a constant. I have given different values to theis auxiliary variable in the combo box. But when I simulate the game the combo box does not function, i.e. it does not chan...

I have developed a sable project sometimes ago. I made a new version of the vensim model that I use in the project and saved it in the directory of the model with a new name and .vmf format. In the properties of the project I changed the name of the model that should be loaded. But when I launched S...

Thank you, it helped and I found the graph on the clipboard and could paste it on my powerpoint file :) I was using running SableRT. The problem was that when I exported the graph, I was expecting to be asked where it should be exported to. Perhaps I should have known that SableRT will export the gr...

In SableRT, when I choose to print a graph generated, I have th eoption to export the graph. But when I click on export, nothing happens. Does it put the graph file anywhere without asking for a name and location to save it, or is this a bug?

As I am putting together a sable application for redistribution, I encrypted only .vmf files in my MODEL folder. With correct company name sableRT can load .vmf models. However, it fails to load .cin files that I need to simulate specific set up of my model in the application. On page 6 of the Sable...

Thanks, I checked the company name and corrected it to my registered comapny name with Sable. It worked:)

Hello; My latest problem is that encrypted model files, i.e. myfile.vmf file cannot be open by the Sable Run Time. I followed the steps for encryption given by the Vensim redistribution kit and also put the vendlx32.dll file in the "model" directory. Is there any more files I should use? T...

Hi; Using the Inno Setup 4 and the steps given for preparing files for redistribution, I have tried to make an installation package. I am facing few problems which I hope someone could help me with. The problems are: 1. I followed the steps given by the Vensim developer to encrypt the model files. H...

I do all that. The problem is that in the final step, in front of the "script function" I get a gray combo box. It seems to me that for some reason, the script file is not loaded correctly. I sent attached th script file to Tony. I will sen it to you too.

the commands tony referred to were typed, but only "Xcommand" was chosen, not typed. and the spelling was correct.

Lee, I do not get the combo box. I have created the script file and saved it as ExtProg.vst in the SCRIPTS folder of the project. But after choosing the Xcommand and "Execute script" no combo box appears. May be th eproblem is ther. How can load my script correctly. I went to the work spac...

I tried all four without (") but none worked. Can you please send me an example of the Xcommand that has worked?

Thanks
Ali:(

Which one of the four commands that I mentioned in my email I should use without (")?

Lee, I installed the new version of Sable and I have the SCRIPTS folder in my project. Then I followed your instruction and created the following screen to be able to go to the "ANALYSIS" screen from four screens and come back to the them. But I still have a problem as I describe bellow. g...

Lee,

It seems that Sable does not create a SCRIPT folder in the project. There is no such a folder in the sample project that you have supplied with the software.

Should we produce that folder ourself?

I have set up an exact game in three screens. The only difference between the screens is the period that the game is played. In one screen the period is 90 days, in the other two the period is 360 and 720 days. As I move from one screen to the other, I use SIMULATE>READCIN|gameN.cin before the link ...
