Running models: diagnostic dialogues

The point at which you attempt to run a newly built model is where you are most likely to encounter failures due to incompleteness or inconsistencies in the model's definition. You should not give up at this point; a bit of attention to the messages will enable the problems to be fixed.

The first dialogue that appears will have an outline description of the problem, and only two buttons. Depending on the nature of the problem, these can be:

Built-in functions: in_progenitor function

in_progenitor function -- new in Simile v5.8

Usage: in_progenitor(expression of any type) returns that type

Simile does not start

Hi,

My problem is simple. Simile  5x does not start. It shows the splash-screen but after that, nothing. I have tried to install Simile on a Windows XP SP3 virtual computer and on a normal computer. Neither works.

Evaluation edition for Windows needs licence code

Thanks to a change in our installation builder, the evaluation edition requests a licence code during install. It doesn't actually need one, but you have to type something into the box to get to the next installation step.

 Dear friends,

I've downloaded several times this version, but I keep getting this error:

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

 
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. Any advice?
 
Thanks in advance.

Display popups over model components for equations, values and comments

While in pointer mode, holding the pointer over any model component will cause a popup window to appear including that component's equation, value(s) (while the model is running) and description and comments. These can be suppressed by unchecking any or all of these options. If none is selected, the popups are suppressed completely.
