Re: Tracking Outputs

I would attempt to have two queues as Tom suggested, one for your samples and the other for "other" samples in the lab. You would then have a single processing rate for the lab. This would need to be split between the two queues based on the age of items in the queue. Get the oldest age of...

Re: [Beginner] Oscillation, period

Am I right in saying you want the rainfall to behave like a sine wave (and not random)?

Adding units to your model is a really good idea as well.

Re: Run dll in 64bit system

Very short answer, no.

The Vensim DLL is 32 bit, and so can only be loaded by 32 bit apps.

Re: problem with synthesim

An update on this. If you hide/remove "aléa horizon data" from the view, it should work ok. The bug will be fixed in the next release (it took a long time to find). That data equation has no values which was causing problems when trying to display the SyntheSim graph when override was acti...

Re: Function to create Multiple "IF...ELSE" statements

There are a number of ways. 1. You can nest the IF THEN ELSE statements result = IF THEN ELSE ( a > 0 , b , IF THEN ELSE ( a > 0.5 , c , 0 ) ) I personally don't like nesting IF THEN ELSE statements, it makes it difficult to read and debug what is happening. 2. Add IF THEN ELSE statements result = I...

Start with the Excel example that ships with Vensim (usually found in C:\Users\Public\Vensim\dll\excel97\VENDLL.XLS). This example contains code to load, set and retrieve data/constants. Then you just need the following venapp commands to run the optimization. SIMULATE>OPTPARM|<optimization control ...

Re: Can locking windows lock you out?

Is there a way to move (locked) windows down again? Unfortunately unlike in other Windows' applications I can't see a hand-tool to move windows other than by moving the upper border but that is hidden once it has been moved upward. If I am not missing something essential this might be a feature to ...

Re: VENAPP - How to build interfaces to simulators

Venapps can do this.

The best place to start is definitely the help system though at
http://www.vensim.com/documentation/ind ... enapps.htm

It will take you though a simple design (and what to think about when building a GUI).

Is there a Stella forum where you can ask for help? I know there are one or two who use this forum who are familiar with Stella, but you would most likely get a much faster answer elsewhere.
