Gantt charts in 5.6b

Hi there, Just downloaded 5.6b, and loaded up my model. Modified the toolset to include my usual tools, including the Gantt chart, which I use quite a bit, for seeing when things are there or not. Anyhow, I thought it was behaving oddly. Worked fine on some variables, not so on others - seemed to be...

OK, Thanks, I sort of suspected this. I will have a word with Andy and Tony about getting an upgrade. Not sure why your first job comes at time 6 mind you, all the sequences are driven by independent random number seeds so should give the same results unless there is another random number being gene...

Hi, I have already cut the problem down to identify that yes, there is definitely something going on. I have one queue, one arrival process - a poisson process, one server. Vensim seems to be calculating average age right, but getting maximum age wrong sometimes. So queue starts empty, 1st arrival o...

Problems with Vensim Queue in 5.3

Hi there, I am using v5.3 of Vensim and have just started using the Queue FIFO function, and am having strange results with QUEUE AGE OLDEST. The queue starts empty, and the flow in is stochastic with a relatively low rate (thus not all time steps have inflow). When the first job turns up, I get an ...
