That's a PLE Plus (or higher) feature.
It wouldn't take too long to run a set of sims in synthesim, if you don't need a large sample.

Re: Run a model but simultaneous equations involving
You have the Type for your stocks set to Auxiliary.
If, for example, you change the type of Population to Level, and enter an initial value, that eliminates the simultaneity. I think the other errors are similar.

Re: Repeat time period with FINAL TIME as INITIAL CONDITION
You can use the Based On simulation setting to reset the state variables - see https://www.vensim.com/documentation/23320.htm. This is SIMULATE>BASED in a command script. Not sure about iterating n times - you might do that with a command script, or using a programming language with the .dll.

Re: about testing Ventity beta release
Yes - we haven't planned that piece yet, but we consider it to be important. We could potentially even support a similar syntax, though some things like arrays will have to differ. Is there anything in particular you'd like to see improved?

Re: Modeling Transportation Networks
You don't need to write out the full combinatorial explosion. What you want probably looks something like this:
share[k] = attractiveness[k]/SUM(attractiveness[k!])
attractiveness[k] = EXP( alpha*has license[k] + beta*is female[k] + gamma*likes cats[k] + ... )
share[k] = attractiveness[k]/SUM(attractiveness[k!])
attractiveness[k] = EXP( alpha*has license[k] + beta*is female[k] + gamma*likes cats[k] + ... )

Understood. There is an equation listing, though we haven't paid much attention to it lately. What if that were beefed up a bit, with editable entries and search & replace?

Re: Variable delay depending on the trend direction
This is pretty close to what you're asking for:
You could refine it further, or do something with SAMPLE IF TRUE, if you need the downward lag to be literally 0, though that might be unrealistic.- Mon Nov 09, 2015 6:35 pm

Re: Forcing a value when there is no convergence
The IROR function is supposed to return :NA: when it fails to converge. You could use an IF THEN ELSE to check for result=:NA: and then substitute a value. Does that do what you want?

Re: Equation based lookup function
A reusable equation can be implemented as a MACRO function. If you're looking to parameterize a lookup, that's the VECTOR LOOKUP function. https://www.vensim.com/documentation/22145.htm https://www.vensim.com/documentation/fn_vector_lookup.htm A quick way to test a lookup's behavior is to use a Synt...

Re: Support more than two subscript ranges?
Text and spreadsheets only support 2D input, for obvious reasons. If you have many dimensions, you can either use a number of files or worksheet tabs with GET XLS and GET DIRECT, or you could put the material in a database and use ODBC.

Re: about testing Ventity beta release
Hi JJ - Ventity may not ever have a text editor. You can use the inspectors for a list view of equations though, and it permits deletion. In general, the modularity of entities is a lot better than the grouping in Vensim. You can, for example, reuse an entity in another model just by importing it. A...

Re: how to explore different lookup table?
You can use the VECTOR LOOKUP function to parameterize your lookup points as an array of constants. Or, you can create a function to shift or stretch your lookup results, according to a few parameters. For example: effect of price = price sensitivity * price effect lookup( price/normal price ) + (1-...

Re: Price threshold based sale decisions
This helps a lot. I think I see several ways to do it. It would actually be a little easier in Ventity I think, analogous to the cohort model here http://www.ventanasystems.co.uk/forum/v ... =48&t=6083, but the tool isn't as mature.
I'll cook up an example.

Re: Price threshold based sale decisions
I think we need to know a little more about the problem. For example, are the commodities all the same, but for their value? Do all commodities from a given day evolve their value in the same way?
