Not yet, but that could be added. Right now it would be a hack of some inputs.

But thanks for pointing out Game Mode -- I missed that in the OP.

Jeff -- why aren't you and Todd going with SDEverywhere? Is it not working with your model? It already supports external data files.

I think an easier approach would be to use SDEverywhere. This converts an MDL file to WASM which you could then call. You'll need to do webapp coding to have some web sockets and such, but the model can run locally or on a server (Node.js). SDEverwhere can also generate standalone C code, if that is...

After struggling to import an XMILE formatted model, the imported MDL code has errors. I understand that importing might not always work. But the error reported after Check Model (cmd-T) is simply "Syntax Error". There is nothing actionable with the message. It doesn't help the modeler eve...

I have a working Stella model that I save out to the XMILE file format. macOS Vensim 8.1.1 opens the file and gives an error. Sometimes this causes a crash. One time, after it failed, I tried again and it open (with model errors), but for some reason it did open. Willing to share the model privately.

Sorry -- missed your question. Vensim's new web publishing features are in Vensim 8.1, so make sure you have the latest.

You can find the documentation here: <https://www.vensim.com/documentation/in ... e-inte.htm>

I'd be happy to help you try http://SDEverywhere.org also. We've done quite a bit of work making it fast and able to handle large models. We're actively using it and expanding it, with many performance improvements this summer. SDE already supports external data files. Of course there is Stella, too...

Just double checking: The new table tool can't have time run down, right?

Good question. It is the old Table tool because I like time running down. I would love to use the new table layout with time running down. Also, with the new table tool, it does open in the same place, but it is same place on the non-Vensim display, which is a bit weird given the focus (both window ...

I have two displays. Currently I'm working with Stella on one and Vensim on the other. When I open use the table analysis tool in Vensim, the table window open on the Stella display. I move it to the Vensim display and close it, thinking that maybe it will remember. That doesn't work. I then simply ...

On macOS Catalina, with Vensim 8.1.1: I have a model open. I choose to use the new Sketch view. That closes the current model (I think). I re-open my model. I then close my model (cmd-w). This leave another blank "new model' window. This window doesn't respond to cmd-W. I click the red close-wi...

Resizing the subscripts window, so it is larger and more useable, causes the window to become blank.

I recorded a screen capture but I can't upload mp4 to this site.

We've also had crashes in Windows 10. This thread looks like a specific issue, and we can't narrow our situation down. Often it happens when in SyntheSim mode in and trying to hunt down behavior in a large model.

I got a message saying that Vensim would need to be restarted. Then the model window flashed, which I assumed meant Vensim closed and relaunched. Is that the case? if not, flashing is weird. Eventually Vensim crashed and I had to relaunch, and the toolbars didn't have labels. So I guess Vensim didn'...

I feel I've done this in the past, but this is a clean installation of Vensim on Windows... How do I remove the toolbar button labels? I'm trying to regain screen real estate. I tried uncheck "Show labels", using smaller icons, etc. Vensim does relaunch, but the labels remain. Here are my ...

You might not be trying to follow official guidelines like a good macOS app, but it should be easy to capture a keystroke and call the correct command. It can be platform specific code that is #ifdef'd if needed. Doable if you want to spend the time.

the more that I use Vensim with my MDL in a git repository, the more that I really wish Reform and Clean were enabled by default. I suggest turning it on by default, using the "Alphabetical by Group" and "Terse" settings. Or maybe "As originally entered" by default, but...

in macOS Vensim v8.0, if you hover your mouse over a variable, the Comments and Units text that you'd like to see are horribly garbled. Screenshot attached.

In Vensim macOS v8.0, Page Up and Page Down don't change views unless you click in the diagram window. Reproduce: 1. using the view menu (lower left corner) choose any view. 2. Try using Page Up/Down to move to another view. (Doesn't work) (FYI: on macbook, Page Up is fn-UpArrow and Page Down is fn-...

The bottom of the variable name text is cut off in the Equation Editor window. This makes text harder to read.

Screenshot attached.

The text in a Units Mismatch window doesn't wrap, making it useless.

Screenshot attached.

In macOS v8, you can't copy and paste text.

Try: highlight the units text, press cmd-C, click in the Comments text field, cmd-V to paste. This doesn't work.

Vensim has some really handy keyboard shortcuts/accelerators. One big set is the number key row for choosing your tools, instead of clicking toolbar buttons. On macOS v8, there are so many different mouse focus and window focus issues that using the keyboard is basically impossible. For instance, yo...

Maybe similar to the double-line graph artifacts, I'm seeing that the text of variables names gets doubled up when I switch between the Lock tool and the Hand tool.

Version 8.0 macOS

Screenshots of both tools are attached.

Hand tool is okay; Lock tool has the doubled text.

I was clicking to move and close a custom graph definitions window (that you get when click "Modify" in the custom graphs window) and Vensim just disappeared. Total crash. Happened so suddenly I'm not sure how I could reproduce. Stack trace below. ================================== Process...
