Simulistics

I'm currently developing a large seagrass growth model for Tampa Bat Fl.  I have created a unit model and have coupled it to a hexagon grid. For the detail that I need I use 1000000 hexagons which will make the model run for ever.  However i am considering dividing up the Bay into 10 to 20 more locallized hexagon  grids that I could run in paralell using the a single unit model.  Is there any way to do this within SIMILE or am I going to have to be more creative.

HI!.

 I need some help related to the nature of flow's direction. I am trying to simulate with a boolean expresion (if) for the direction of a flow depending on concentrations of substrtate between compartments: i.e. If comp A=10 and compB= 20 the flow goes from B to A; else if comp A=20 and B=10 then flow is reversed, from A to B.

 Hi, 

I downloaded the free trial version of SIMILE 5.5. Unfortunately, I can't install it in my laptop. I am using Mac OS 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard).

The error says:

Simile error: Simile encountered an unexpected problem: couldn't open "../Run/userinfo.txt": read-only file system

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Respectfully yours,

Sev

Dear Simile support team,

I just bought a license for using Simile standard edition. However, I could not run and save a model, nor open an existing model. Below you’ll find the messages I received from Simile. Could you please give me a hand on that?

I have a model that had 150 layers in 5.0.  It still has the appropriate number of layers but when you bring up propertires for the submodel it only indicates 1 layer.  If you change the 1 to 150 you end up with a 150,150 xy grid.  Alos I have another problem that may not be related to 5.5.  In this model I calculate the diffusion of several compounds into a sediment profile.  After you compile the initial data should show numbers up to 09 layers and zeros after.  This happens in all cases but for O2 which has a negative number in thwe last layer (150).  I cannot determine why it is there. 

I am also finding that my large programs will not open.  So I am sending you versions of the same model at different levesls of development for you to play with.
