Re: Active Initial question, Vector function

Okay, so it sounds like there is nothing I can do right now. Let me know if/when there is a fix for me to try.

Thanks for your help,
Travis

Re: Active Initial question, Vector function

Hmm. Have you tried the first model, with more variables? That definitely gets the warnings for me.

Re: Active Initial question, Vector function

Tom, I don't follow. The v3 model (most recent that I uploaded) doesn't have any integration. Just a random number between [0-1], then input into a lookup table. A warning pops up. To see, just open the model and run once. t btw, I've seen this warning for years on several models, but only now does ...

Re: Active Initial question, Vector function

JJ, Sorry for the units error. This is part of a much bigger model, and I missed units when I cut it out. The bigger model passes unit check. But to illustrate the question better, I made an much simpler model that has the same problem. Two vars: Random number into a Lookup. I get the Active Initial...

Active Initial question, Vector function

I have a structure that is causing lots of active initial difference warnings. The structure uses a random number to select a subscript of an arrayed value. The vector function suggests that I do any mapping with the first subscript value, say Var[sub1]. But the random number may choose the fourth s...

Anyone try OS X Lion 10.7 and Vensim yet?

I'm thinking about upgrading to 10.7. Does anyone have wisdom on how Vensim works?

TIA,

Maybe I should rephrase my questions: How do I get a graph off all loaded datasets such that all line widths=2? Which datasets are plotted should only be the active and should change.

Custom Graph with thicker lines

I would like to have all the lines in a graph be "thick", say a line width of 2 or 3. I know there is a Vensim pref for Thick Lines, but that doesn't make them all the same thickness. Is there a way to 1) modify the Graph tool or 2) create a custom graph that loads all the current datasets...

Button to launch command scripts?

I'm interested in adding some super-macros to my model. That is, I would like to create a button (likely a Comment) that changes some parameters, runs the model, repeats, and then loads each new vdf file. Put another way, I'm interested in generating two additional runs as a very limited sensitivity...

Navigation (Comments) Shadow vars?

I'm interested in having the same navigation buttons on several different views. Say, I would have Button1--> View1 and Button2 --> View2. I know I can just copy and paste these comments into each of the views and it works. Is there a way to have "shadow comments"? That way, if I want Butt...

Yes, static wouldn't be too useful. Just to state what I was thinking, I'm interested in having a background be a "reference mode" that wouldn't change. The easiest way to explain it is to image a bar chart with 5 vertical bars as the background. Vensim would the simulate and draw a horizo...

Picture as graph background?

Is there a way to have a picture be the background a line graph? I'm indifferent to how: this could either be done by modifying the graph defaults or by some clever combination of comments and graphs in a view. Thoughts? I can't seem to make it work.

Thanks,
TF

I created a little test model and wasn't able to get the functionality I wanted. Maybe I am doing it wrong. What I did (with liberal syntax): :MACRO: Function1 (input)= Input * param1 + param2^param3 Now, if I want to change Param3 in Synthesim so that it changes the macro value, param3 needs to be ...

Analytic lookups? (Functions)

In order to make some diagrams look "pretty", I'm wondering if there is a way to define analytic functions like we can define lookup tables. For instance, it is rather easy to: TableFunction1 = [set of points defined by user in Vensim Equation Editor] TableFunction2 = [set of points define...
