Re: Vensim 10.1.1 macOS GUI Bug
I think this is an instance of one we're working on ... seems to be random breakage of the GUI library. Are you using Sonoma or Ventura or another OS version?

Re: Random number generator; any tips to replicate?
Restating what I stated above for clarity: If a modeler wanted every RANDOM-based function in a model to be independent of all of the others (not drawing from the same pool), then the functions should be called with different STREAM_IDS (https://www.vensim.com/documentation/stream_id.html). Someone...

Re: Random number generator; any tips to replicate?
For instance, a model has RANDOM_UNIFORM and RANDOM_NORMAL, and is run to generate output1.vdfx. If a user then deletes the UNIFORM() function in one portion of the model and adds a UNIFORM() function in a different part of the model, will the functions be called in the same order? Will the random ...

Re: Vensim DSS Crashing on Save When Viewing As Sketch
This has a lot of undefined variables that appear as A FUNCTION OF() in the text listing. Was the last operation before the crash a huge paste/replicate or something?

Re: Random number generator; any tips to replicate?
The version we're using is a little older, but same thing. It was very easy to implement - nothing special needed, but we did do extensive verification using the NIST suite and DieHard to be sure it was working. I think the goal of replication with random functions may be elusive, because order and ...

Re: Function: choose
Generically, I'd say the HH decides to migrate, then runs a Process List action to evaluate possible target regions. These are sorted by GSP or some more general measure of attractiveness. You limit processing to one iteration, and the HH changes its location attribute to match the leading candidate...

Re: What can be done to speed up model calibrations and MCMC?
Memory is generally not a constraint, and GPU acceleration is not supported. In the multicore version, speed is basically just cores x clock speed. If you have BIOS access to the machine, there may be some advantage to turning off hyperthreading, but this is a relatively small factor.

Re: Error Message
The subscript on QPD0 on the left side is vcd, and on the right side it's vc'd or vcd'. I'm not sure if the ' (prime) refers to differentiation or something else, but it's possible that the left and right side expressions are distinct things.

Re: What can be done to speed up model calibrations and MCMC?
Are you running the latest multicore v10 version?
With Powell you need to select the XPARALLEL multistart option.
With MCMC you don't need to change anything. Initialization is not multithreaded, so you may want to switch to the "Underdisperse" method to get things going faster.

Re: Find a shadow variable
In v10+, select the variable on the diagram, making it the workbench var.
Hit F4, or menu Edit>Find Workbench. This will find the next instance of that variable.
If that's not the source node, hit F3, or menu Edit>Find Again.

You have a syntax problem - '1' is not a valid cell reference. https://www.vensim.com/documentation/fn_get_xls_constants.html Not sure what you have in mind for interpolation.

It's not really a comprehensive project model, but it does show how to set up the subscripting. Unless you do some really arcane stuff, you won't really be doing CPM in Vensim (or any other SD tool). But that's kind of the point: CPM ignores the cross-stage rework cycle, partial concurrency, and oth...

The fee part is a good argument for Forio. They have the architecture for paid use of models; creating that yourself is probably a substantial bit of work.
