Re: Where is "vendll32.dll" file?
Hi again, From http://vensim.com/comparison/ the Model Reader does allow DLL configuration (as shown on the last row of table). Thus, the example file should work on a computer/system without Vensim DSS installed. As requested below, please indicate how to get the DLL setup to work with Java. Side n...

Re: Where is "vendll32.dll" file?
Yes using 32 bit version of java (1.8) So I have the dll and gave it to the developer but his issue is now that that application he is building tells him he needs to reinstall vensim, he has installed the ModelReader but that doesn't seem to fix the problem. Reading the documentation a bit it mentio...

RE: Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IF97 equations)
Sorry for the delay. After extracting the provided zip folder I saved VensimCoolPropIF97.dll under C:\Users\Public\Vensim\plugins and then directed Vensim to the .dll file with Tool > Options > Startup: External function library. The IF97 functions are now like built in functions, under User Defined...

RE: Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IF97 equations)
Yes GitHub is based on the same documentation as the Excel Add-In from the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam. MIT has actually taken it further by including the backward equations - returns Temperature. The IF (IF97) stands for Industrial Formulation. Really cool, great...

RE: Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IF97 equations)
Sorry for the delay. I also thought about the Lookup option but this has its drawbacks as the phase (superheated, saturated, compressed) would need to be 'set' per point in the steam cycle. If time does not allow for the below to work out then I will look into it further. It would be cool to compare...

Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IF97 equations)
Good day, Using: Vensim 7.1 DSS I have a similar query to the two links below which both aimed to have a 'dynamic' link with Excel. Not sure how it was solved in the end, hence this post. https://www.ventanasystems.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5009 https://www.ventanasystems.co.uk/forum/viewt...

Re: Subscript reshape (stitching)
Thanks Tom. :D I got the long clumsy IF THEN ELSE way to work but that is a total of 295 of them! Yes, the Administrator is correct it is not fun to debug that. The example Tom attached allows one to go from two subscripts (for example subscript A by Subscript B) to one subscript (for example C) the...

Subscript reshape (stitching)
Good day, Using: Vensim 7.1 DSS After hours of trying to figure this out, including review of the reference material I hope you can help. Background: I am modelling electricity demand. An input is the sub-hourly daily demand profiles (48 off per day) per Customer Group (for instance residential). Pe...

Optimizer sorted. The outputs used in the objective function were not correctly defined when guaranteed output was greater than the required demand. Thank you it works

Sorry only three attachments are allowed and I removed the wrong one. Attached. SearchFunction.voc Further to above, when slowly varying the weighting between cost (50 to 100%) and CO2 emissions (50 to 0%) one would expect the outputs of the cases to follow a 'trend'. Overall it does but the new bui...

Re: Error with Allocate Available - subscript range error
Thank you so much tomfid. :D The model is working! I am using Vensim DSS for Windows Version 6.3 (x32). The simultaneous equation error is a lot more useful than "ALLOCATE_AVAILABLE/FIND_MARKET_PRICE" error. It is strange that the former did not show with my version as I did have such an e...

Re: Optimization of time dependent variable (non-constant) for electricity generation expansion planning
Thank you for the response tomfid. I was reluctant to use the mentioned second option due to the "suppressed feedback loops" and other comments from posters. I have followed the VECTOR LOOKUP approach and the optimizer is operating. The optimizer finds the number of plants to be built per ...
