Hey Everybody (Probably Bob;))

I have a new problem, i would like to load a file either .doc or .pdf containing a manual upon pressing a button. Is there any possibility to do so?

Best regards
Tobi

Hey Everybody, I have a VenApp, where you can save data via .cin files, which may include strings. The problem now is that i would like to reset the string upon loading a file which doesn't have a value for the string included. Unlike the numerical value it doesn't reset the string. I wanted to rese...

Hi Bob, I have a related problem. I'd like to have the same scale over several graphs, without knowing in advance how big the results will get. What i have is three scenarios, best, worse and average case and i'd like to have those graphs on the same scale. The problem is, i don't know in advance if...

Okay that works, thanx a lot. I was thinking that maybe the settings might be export with the flag you set in the "publish" wizard...

Hey Everybody I am working with .vpa's to distribute models to clients who only have the Application Runtime. My clients highly prefer the european number format (switch dots and commas), i can easily change this option in Vensim, but how can i change it for my clients aswell. The Application Runtim...

Hey Bob,
So it was the easiest possible way, thanx for the fast reply, next time i will fool around a little longer before posting. I thought i had tried this before and it hadn't worked, this time it did without any problems...

Thanks a lot again

Hey everybody, I have a small technical task, which i am unable to solve at this point in time and don't even know whether it is possible to manage. I have developed a tool, where users can save and load different runs out of a VenApp surface. I would now like to give the user the possibilty to stor...

I tried for several times now but still can't see a pattern in the crashes. As soon as i find some regularities, i'll inform u, of course.

Hey Bob,
That's what i thought, tankx. Btw: I still get quite a lot of crahes with the 5.5a, e.g. sometimes when u change the model and don't simulate it itself, the whole DSS will crash if u try to run the VenApp. Just as an input for 5.5b

Hey Everybody,
I got a new qestion. Where lies the difference if i put a command in the opening commands or in the command list in VenApp? Is it just the calculation order or is there a further difference?

Dear Bob,
The problem is/ was that i am running SyntheSim mode, i checked the finance file, there it works out fine as u said, so I#ll probably just switch to normal simulation or do u see any option to achieve the same for SyntheSim? And we are running 5.5 meanwhile;)

Hey everybody, I have a small problem, i am working with a VenApp platform right now and the users of this VenApp tend to use the provided slidebars not by sliding but by entering values, now VenApp seems to ignore this way of putting values unless the slider is being clicked on. Is there some way i...

Thanx a lot, copying the files in advance worked. About the Vensim Application Redistribution Kit: I could not find any pricing information for that. Would it be possible for u to send me some further information (tobias.t.lorenz@daimlerchrysler.com)?

I have another question: I'd like to put a set of .cin files into the package, this works, as far as i see it. But then i want to have them read in on pressing different buttons. The question now is from which path can I load those files in the VenApp code as just the name of the file doesn't work...

Sorry, my mistake, of course i had to reinstall the Application Runtime aswell, but that means that all users who want to view the interface i created have to have Application Runtime 5.5 aswell;(. I heard about a possibility to create standalone .exe files, are any extras needed for this option or ...

Dear Bob,
I did as u said and it still doesn't work. I want the VenApp to be readable only with Runtime or Application Runtime. Still, the Application Runtime tells me that it is not able to open the .vpa file. As this is quite urgent, who would be the contact to call for that problem?

Hey Everybody
I am trying to prepare a Venapp file for usage with application runtime and did the renaming ( Venapp -> .vcf and graphs get .vgf, the model itself is also saved as vmf). still when i try to open the venapp i get an error message...
Any ideas what could be the cause?

Thanx a lot, the VensimApp file was missing for whatever reason. After reinstalling it is now clearer...

Hey Everybody, In the DSS section, some classes for accessing VensimModels are provided. I fooled around with them a little bit, but couldn't really get access. Maybe the problem lies in reading the dll. But to make sure, did anybody program such a connection and has a small example file of a connec...

replay should also be possible with the normal vensim structure as long as the run is saved somewhere, which it should be. variable game time should neither be a problem i think as the game is in the architecture we are now running restarted every period. so each player makes his decisions, ends his...

sorry for the late answer, but was busy with so much other stuff. anyway, i made it work the next day, was just a small n' stupid bug in the code plus a weired structure on the server here...
so if u wanna learn about the simple structure sometime;), hit me...

hey everybody, probably this topic has already been discussed a thousand times, but i am really desperate meanwhile (5:30 in the morning), i try to create a multi-user network game and fooled now all night around with the modell out of the venapp samples but it only seems to work on one computer. as...
