SynthSim

[emcgeachie]

Hi,
I have created a vensim and trying to create a venapp, to go along with it, I have used your test Venapp - Finance.VCD I have go it working, however, I need your help.
when you go into , this works well I change the values hit the macro button and it updates the monte carlo and updates the tables behind it.....perfect, however, I want to make it interactive, when I move the levers I want to insert a chart to help me set the policy once this is done I want to hit the macro button and see the results. So the file works but the graph is not visible, SO I then add COMMAND,,,,,,,,"MENU>SYNTHESIM|O", I get this movement on the screen, however the Showscenarios dont update - can you please help thanks


When I run

is it possible for you to post the model and venapp ?

Hello Eddie,

I got the following to work. Use
TOOL,"GR1",24,20,46,46,,,CUSTOM>test
instead of the WIPTOOL you had before.

Code: Select all

COMMAND,"",0,0,0,0,,,SPECIAL>LOADRUN|current.vdf
COMMAND,"",0,0,0,0,,,SPECIAL>READCUSTOM|test.vgd
COMMAND,"",0,0,0,0,,,SPECIAL>SETWBITEM|Samples Waiting To Be Tested

Hi Tony,
I got this to work by changing it to TOOL and this does the Synthsim and does the changes on the screen - however when I hit the run the monte carlo button the values dont come over and it looks like when I introduce the Synthsim command that it ignores it.

I can load the model and venapp if you would like to see it. thanks
