I finally unistalled Vensim, deleted all folders and reinstalled it. I also changed the installation path.
Now everything seems to work well, I don’t really understand why, but I can normally run simulations.
Thank you for your help.

Ok, I saw
That still does not work. First it tells me «The model C:\users\ovidal\documents\mdl.tmp does not exist - can’t open»
Then it creates one, I can open it but the problem of simulations remains.

Here it is.
It has been the same in the document folder. I am under Windows 10 for companies. But the only thing I think changed before the apparition of the errors was installing and then uninstalling Vensim reader.

The shortcut to Vensim.ini only opens it to me a text file, and the Function Example is in the Public User folder of my computer, thus I have no problem to access it (other model at different paths also do not open)

I have made screenshot of manipulations on a Function Example in the PNG attached

No model at all can run.
I figured out that there only were Venread.ini and Vensimdp.ini in the folder, even thought I uninstalled Vensim reader and unistalled/re-installed Vensim DSS. Vensim.ini doesn’t exist.
Maybe I should retrieve that specific file ?

Do you think it is a model problem ? I have tried with some models and also Vensim Example or models, nothing runs.
I am using standard Vensim version

Hello, I have an error that I can’t understand: When I click on «simulate» button, nothing happens. I could also saw errors: - When I load (afer opening the model), it indicates errors like «VarX is not used in the model», and then returns «RMS3321» or crash. If i check synthax at the «VarX is not u...

You are right about exp penalty overflow. What bothers me for penalties is that the limits I want to represent are tough limits, meaning that I can’t overpass them but I can be just at their edge without problems (that is why I thought about logistic curves allowing me model a continous penalty swit...

Thank you for your answers and advices I could have tried different optimization methods and found that only Multiple start Vector gave different (and better) results. However, I have not been able to generate good output even with few objectives. As explained in a previous message, «we could expect...

Sorry, Voc and VPD file attached.
A first issue is precisely that even with only “Objective Function” in policy mode, I find a -3 payoff

Thank you for your answers. Is there documentation about how Vensim mathematicaly compute optimization ? I have implemented the optimisation using Vector lookup as you suggested, and turned variable constraints into binary penalties (if variable reach limit, then penalty=100). That has allowed me cr...

Hi, I would like to optimize a model, in which : - Some optimization constraints are time varying (exogeneously). - Optimization parameters should vary over time. - I would like to constraint stocks, without taking them as optimization parameters. It is a dynamic system that I would like to optimise...
