Ventana software support forum

Have you loaded a model in the venapp (SPECIAL>LOADMODEL)?

Most users on here will be using Vensim (so the question of "any pitfalls in using non SD software" will not be one they face). If the results are correct and you know your model is dimensionally correct, I cannot see any reason why you shouldn't use something else. It's straightforward to...

There is lots of help available, but you need to ask more specific questions.

What parts of the model do you need help with?

Use SIMULATE>RUNNAME|full_filename to do this.

I need to make the stocks in my model with limited capacity? is there any way to to have max accepted value for the stock?? I searched the help menu and did not get any thing There is no automatic way. Create an auxiliary variable called "MAX STOCK LEVEL". Then make sure your resupply rat...

Did PLE ever work properly for you on the Mac?

I'm sure there must be something interfering with Vensim, but I don't know what it is.

Is it Livescribe desktop you have installed?

What happens if you disable it?

Can you upload the model so we can try and reproduce the error?

Or email it to us (vensim@vensim.com)?

Tony.

You will need to ask on a forum dedicated to Stella (unless someone on here can advise).

Tony.

Thanks Ulli, unfortunately that file is identical to the one I already have on my Mac (so we are no further towards solving the problem).

What other software do you have installed?

There is still a vensim.ini for the Mac version. Go to where you installed Vensim, right click on the Vensim icon and select "Show Package Contents". Double click on "Contents", then "MacOS" and vensim.ini is in there. Can you email that file to me please (vensim@vensim...

I'm not as up to speed using Macs as most people. Is there a similar mode to the Windows safe mode that you could try Vensim in to rule out other applications interfering with Vensim?

Can you click VensimPLE->About and tell me the version number?

I cannot re-create the error on my Mac here.

Tony.

Can you go back to using version 5.10D?

Tom is right. It could be that Vensim is stopping at the space so is trying to run
"[SPECIAL>LOADMODEL|C:\Program]"

Another question. Is Python similar to C where you need double \\?

What happens if you try
comando = "[SPECIAL>LOADMODEL|C:\\Program Files\\Vensim\\models\\sample\\EXTRA\\ball.mdl]"
c.Exec(comando)

Does "c.Exec(comando)" return a value? If yes, what is the value of nResult below?

nResult = c.Exec(comando)

And what error message are you getting on "c.Exec(comando)" line?

Can you post anything for us to take a look at?

The amount you remove from the level is
level / time step.

If you have a 0/1 switch that tells you when the year is starting, just multiply it by level / time step and remove it from the level.

Tony.

Click "Model->Simulate" and all the information you need is on the dialog that pop up.

Tony.

I've emailed you regarding this.

Tony.

That's what I mean. I've got XCode installed and running now so should have an answer for you shortly.

Tony.

Are you using the GCC compiler? Or XCode?

Can you email me at tony@ventanasystems.co.uk? I received nothing at vensim@vensim.com.

Tony.
