Greetings,
I am very new at this. I cannot find the Spatial Grid Display Helper. I was hoping to play with the land-use model from the examples, but it does not seem to be working. http://www.simulistics.com/examples/landuse/landuse.htm
Any advice is appreciated thank you! I am using the trial version.

I downloaded evaluation version and I have a problem with installing it on Win98SE.

When I double-click on Simile50.exe and after I click Next on Start Copying Files screen I get Select Install Disk - 2 screen where I am supposed to browse for SIMILE50.002 file of GP-Install Data Files type?

Since I don't have this file I click on Cancel and setup aborts.

Hi folks, I've been reading reports that some versions of TclTk have issues under MacOS 10.5 (Leopard). Is there anyone here who could do a check as to whether the current Simile (any edition) runs properly under that OS? The problem, if it existed, would occur during file selection dialogues.

Hi everyone --

I managed to get the GUI to pop open once, but now it won't (running simile.exe, version 4.7 trial). A couple of colleagues of mine are also having the same problems. When I run the .exe, I see a process for simile and that's all, no application.

I'm running on a WinXP professional machine w/ 1GB ram. The software is installed in C:\simile47 (no spaces in the dirname)

Are there any parameters I need to configure for the GUI/application to pop up?

Thanks!!

I'd like to have teh X-Y plotter use only one colour as it collects points. I've opened up the tcl file but I'm not quite sure what I'm doing in there - has anyone tweaked this tool to use only one colour?

Much obliged,

I've been using the table command to read in a time series of solar irradiance. This has worked fine when the number of values in the table is for eight years (2920 irradiance values). However, when I try to double this amount I run into trouble with Simile. Any tips?

We recently had a query from a user who is using scripting to make several runs of the same model and wanting to append data saved from the table display to one file. (Rather than a file for each run using RunControl::SaveToFile.)

At the moment there is no command to append table data to a file. However, I have had the same requirement and wrote a Tcl scipt to do the job and I post it below. (The SimileScript comands are built as an extension to the Tcl scripting language and so Tcl is available in Simile scripts.)

Hello,

i noticed you have floor and ceiling functions which round a
number either up or down,
but i need to round to the nearest whole number,
i tried ROUND(X,number of decimals) like excel but that doesnt work
do you have a function that does that?

cheers

I'd like to use a variable that takes the value of another variable from the last time step. The other variable happens to be an array. I use the equation:

oldarray==delay([array],1)

However, this produces the following:

Testing Equation field produced the following error: Your explicit intermediate result, [array], has brackets round it that would indicate an array of single values. However it actually stands for an array of arrays of single values so should appear as follows: [[array]].

I should mention that the array is within a population submodel.
