Experiment: restore original state after each replication

[ FlexSim 20.0.2 ]

Hi,

I downloaded the warehouse demo model and I played a bit with it.

I updated the model to FlexSim 20.0 and I inserted simply a resource for the pickers. The remainder is equal to the original model.

Then I configured the experimenter and I run it. I noted this issue: if I run the experimenter without the option "Restore original state after each replication" enable, I obtain some results. Instead if I enable that option, the experimenter starts, but after some replication stops itself. I tested the model on different computer in my office and it didn't happen only on my computer.

Could you help me (e.g. @jordan.johnson)? I tried also in FlexSim 19.2 with the original model and the same issue occur in the same way. Thanks!

Be careful to run (save everything before running the experiment) because two times I needed to uninstall and reinstall flexsim because the application was corrupted and didn't start.

If FlexSim won't start, try deleting your user prefs file. Sometimes that gets corrupted, rather than the whole installation. I don't know if I've heard of a crash doing more damage than the prefs file.

This is definitely a bug. It is something about trying to re-load the project tree (which is how it restores to the original state). It will certainly be on the dev list.

Thanks Jordan! I often enable this option to be sure. Let me know when you will fix!

Thanks for the suggestion! Yesterday I run the application as administrator and FlexSim magically starts!

Hi Jordan, I can report that in our company myself and a few colleagues have the same problem with the Experimenter not continuing after the first replications when "Restore state" is enabled (version 20.0.3). I hope you can give this highest priority because we require a fix urgently in order to be able to process results.
