Simulation warnings not showing

Post by msilver »

Hi all,

I've set minimum boundaries on several conditions, yet when they are realised, there is no warning given. I have checked "Preferences" and validated that warnings are not suppressed. Image shown as an example where the minimum was zero, and the actual was -1. No warning window is was observed during "SyntheSim". Is this expected behaviour?

Thanks,
Maxx

Note: this is an issue because the model outputs non-sensical results without warning. This makes it more difficult to debug.

Can you upload the model and your Vensim settings file so we can test?

I think what you may be seeing is a consequence of suppression of some warnings during synthesim. If you do a regular run with the same parameters, do you get the warning?

Yes, that looks to be the issue. The warnings appear with a regular run of the model. Is there a way to adjust the suppression settings such that the warnings appear during SyntheSim?

Thanks

Not during SyntheSim, there would be too many warnings for most simulations. I'll see if I can do something though.

Agree that individual warnings would be overkill. A small pop-up that makes a user aware that warnings exist might be a decent compromise.

Thanks for considering!
