VensimPLE for Mac - open two models at the same time

Post by gamesstate »

Hi all.

I installed VensimPLE for Mac, and I'm very happy, it is a great product. I have a simple question, is there a way to have two models (windows) open at the same time? In Windows I know that I can launch another instance of the product, but that does not seem to work in the Mac.

Is this possible on Mac? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help

I don't believe there is a way.

You could try installing to a different directory and then running the 2nd copy.

You can open multiple instances of an app in OSx via the Terminal window:

Go to Applications->Utilities-Terminal: type in the following command "open -n "path/to/file.extension"

You can also create a macro for Vensim using Automator:
