Re: Are there inconsistencies in the Vensim DLL ?
I think I've found the bug - should be OK in the next release.

Re: Are there inconsistencies in the Vensim DLL ?
FWIW, with SHOWMACRO|1 I do get consistent behavior (showing "#modelFractionalRate>CONTINUOUSRATE#" from either end).
There is an inconsistency for SHOWMACRO|0 - for some reason it doesn't suppress the macro variable in the uses direction.

Re: venext - FUNC_DESC
Reorder your dimensions as x[Range2-element1,Range1] - it always iterates over the last dimensions first, so this should be the same as before.

Re: Are there inconsistencies in the Vensim DLL ?
I'd try SHOWMACRO|1 - in the meantime I'll take a look in the debugger.

NewModel_Oct27b-restore3.mdl NewModel_Oct15-Reorg.mdl The bad news: I still don't know why this happened. The good news: I was able to restore the diagram from the Oct_15 version.

Re: Are there inconsistencies in the Vensim DLL ?
You might try including an .ini file in the .vpm that you're feeding to the .dll, with Tools>Options>Settings>Show Macro Variables set. My first guess would be that it's set to Hide (which is the default), but the Uses call is forgetting to check the attribute. Otherwise I'll have to take a look in ...

Re: Variables Missing from View
The 22b version looks corrupted as well. Only about 10-20% of the first Reservoir view loads. It's still not clear what the problem really is. The diagram is large, but I've seen bigger, so I don't think that's the issue. Generally, switching back and forth between text and sketch view can cause sma...

Re: Variables Missing from View
I can see the problem, but not sure how it happened. Do you have any earlier versions, in which they're still present on the diagram, that we could compare?

Re: Delay 1 behaviour
NobugToo.mdl Good question. The difference is in the initialization. See attached, to which I've added an instance of the DELAY1i function, which corresponds with your explicit structure. The simple DELAY1 function is initialized in equilibrium, so that the initial outflow equals the initial inflow...

Re: Unable to complete graph
I can't replicate this - it works fine for me. Usually this kind of thing indicates a failure to find the dataset, or a bad/empty dataset. Where is the model file when you're _not_ running it in the Samples directory? You could try pinning your custom graph on the sketch as an I/O object, and see if...

You can open two instances of the application and run independently in those, but they won't have any connection.

Re: Get Auxiliary Value At Specific Time
A small word of caution: A formulation that tests for Time = Value can fail unexpectedly due to roundoff error, especially when TIME STEP is not a power of 2. To protect against this, you can check against Value <= Time < Value + TIME STEP, or use the PULSE function with width TIME STEP as your even...

Re: How can I use a model with database operations in java ?
Also, using "1" for the runname is theoretically OK, but potentially troublesome, because that means your vdf will be named 1.vdf, which might have side effects. Can't say as I don't do it.
Re: Ventity
It seems to have died for no reason before the last 26 mails went out, and you were among the unlucky. Sorry. Should come now.

Strange. The server thinks the announcement went out. I'll check the details, and forward to both of you separately.

Re: Running incremental optimizations
SEED=0 is new, with the new random number generator in 6.3. http://www.vensim.com/documentation/optimizationoptions.htm?zoom_highlightsub=seed Note that random number stream IDs and NOISE SEED within a model behave differently. http://www.vensim.com/documentation/noise_seed.htm?zoom_highlightsub=seed

You missed something ... Did you put yourself on the list at ventity.biz? I'll check, but take a look in your spam folder perhaps.

Re: How can I use a model with database operations in java ?
Are you using a recent version? There were some problems in the ODBC example prior to 6.2 or 6.3, as I recall.

I think you don't want RESUME; that resumes at a time. http://www.vensim.com/documentation/25345.htm Instead you can either use BASED|previousrun.vdf or READCIN|previousrun.out (BASED expects a vdf and is probably simpler if there are other change inputs; otherwise you'd have to use READCIN/ADDCIN t...

Re: Running incremental optimizations
There is - set the :SEED to 0.it would be nice if there were a condition which would make Vensim always use a different seed when beginning an optimization
Re: Ventity
Thanks. This sounds like a cool model, due to the real options angle - sell all the tickets up front and guarantee revenue? Or hold some for later in the season, and take your chances on the ups and downs of performance? Good luck with the model.

Re: an amateur question
1) from Little's Law, the average residence time in a stock is (stock/outflow). If you need more disequilibrium detail, you can create an explicit coflow to keep track of accumulating time. I think there have been a couple threads here on the topic. Something like http://www.ventanasystems.co.uk/for...

Re: Subscript combinations as a variable
Just in case you haven't discovered it, you can build up subscripts hierarchically, which might make the 1-dimension idea easier:
Code: Select all
thingsthatfly : airplane, helicopter
thingsthatroll : car, truck
transportmode: thingsthatfly, thingsthatroll
