Are there any possibilities to process a vdf file without a model? vensim_get_data needs the variable name, which of course can be retrieved from a (published) model or simulation. But what if I don’t have one? Are there any possibilities to get the variable names and subscripts from the vdf file? (Without tricks like VDF2TAB?)
/I’d like to implement something like a vdf viewer and editor, connected to a database./
vdf files - vensim dll

Here's one option: you can open a vdf as a model (via File>Open... - just change the file type setting). That let's you see the variables in the vdf - use the Variables tab of the control panel. You can then use the sketch tools to put the variables on a diagram and create a .mdl format data model for the run.
