I have created a model to generate a product that will be cycled through a list of machines. Technically the product list is for a single-day run, but I run the model for long durations to stabilise the model output.
The model can run properly for months until around 20 months, then suddenly stops without any error message as shown in the screenshot. I do not know how to debug this since I do not know where the error comes from.
Does anyone have a similar encounter and could advise on how to approach this issue? Could it be an issue of memory overload?
Without more details, it's hard to pinpoint the exact reason, but this generally happens if the run is stuck in an infinite While Loop or similar. So check all your loops where it's possible for such a scenario to happen and it's likely that one of them (or more) is causing the issue.

I am currently building a model on a manufacture process line and the simulation was running fine without errors. Suddenly when I entered in virtual mode to run quickly the simulation, the model started to slow down although the step is high. I am trying to identify where the issue is but nothing is working. At a certain time , the simulation just stops while the step is still running.
This is a picture of the pallete, maybe the experiment is causing this.
You created an infinite loop, this can be triggered by various things in your model.
Likely, you have a ' while' loop not finishing, could also be a condition-based transition.
You need to find this yourself, though. 3 options:
(easy): Check the model logic yourself and find the problem
(easy): nudge yourself to where it stops with traceln commands (see where they stop showing, getting you closer to the culprit)
(harder): Use a profiler (google "AnyLogic profiling" or similar if you are not familiar)
Benjamin is correct, you have created an infinite loop. Click on the "Events" tab in the developer panel and see which events are scheduled to occur at about the time that your model slows down to 0 days/sec. You can also pay attention to the "Step: " counter at the bottom of the developer panel and see where the step count spikes - e.g., if your model has roughly 10k steps per day, and suddenly starts climbing to 400k steps around 25.99 days, you can pay attention to which things are happening in your logic at that time and narrow down where the infinite loop is created. traceln will also help immensely
I am very much puzzled about using H5P in Moodle.
The idea is great, obviously, yet I cannot make it work as I expected.
My principles/idea:
There are bunch of activities in each course
Each activity can build up several Student's skills, say Creative Thinking or Problem Solving
After finishing each activity Student, based on the result, can go
to the next activity or re-do it if failed
For the testing purposes I set up 3 outcomes (0-30 > NO pass, 30-70 >
1 point, 71-100 > 2 points) in the H5P module - this one is working
fine.
The outcome should be passed to Moodle, so the course can then decide
what to do: pass with 1 or 2 points, or fail and request to do the
activity again
This outcome then will be added to Student's skillset
Say, I have this basic crossword. After finishing it the Student can achieve two Skills mentioned above yet still this depends on the outcome, eg. result 1 means 0 in Creative Thinking and +1 in Problem Solving, and/or 2 means +1 in Creative Thinking and +2 in Problem Solving.
The activity itself works as expected, as I mentioned above, see the images (note ONE point circled):
and , but then nothing happens.
The student is NOT taken to the next activity, all s/he can do is to retry same activity over and over again.
Is it possible to force Moodle/H5P to act as described above?
For the testing purposes I used two 'activities': one being 'h5p' itself and the other being 'lesson' with same h5p modules being added inside, see the image:
I run this all on WAMP
I tried to follow xAPI https://h5p.org/documentation/x-api
which resulted in js error:
Sorry for the long post - tried to cover everything.
If anybody knows the answers - this reply will be much appreciated.

In Netlogo Behavior space, if one of the runs is throwing an error, how to skip that run and ask netlogo to proceed with the next run?
Is it even possible?
From the docs,
If you do want spreadsheet output, note that if anything interrupts
the experiment, such as a runtime error, running out of memory, or a
crash or power outage, no spreadsheet results will be written. For
long experiments, you may want to also enable table format as a
precaution so that if something happens and you get no spreadsheet
output you'll at least get partial table output.)
So, I'll assume this isn't possible and the best way to fix this would be to handle the situation where your code has an error. Alternatively, you could use the carefully command to handle the error messages.
I have a Matlab code (from a journal paper) and I'm trying to re-simulate their data.
I executed the code one week ago. I think the code is taking so long time to run. Matlab is still busy and taking 50% of my cpu.
I was wondering if the process has ended with some errors somewhere in the code. My question is:
When I see no errors, can I be sure that everything is fine with this running process? And I can wait until it is finished?
Is there any way to check which part of code is being run now ( without stopping the execution)?
Or I should stop the program and try something else?
Actually I don't want to loose this 1 week and if you think everything is fine, I would wait until the code stops.
(The authors of the paper didn't reply to my question and I don't know how long should it naturally take... They just mentioned it may take a long time to simulate the data).
Unfortunately, there is little we can do for you.
When I see no errors, can I be sure that everything is fine with this running process?
That's pretty much the definition of an error. If no error is raised, then it means that the program is still running.
Is there any way to check which part of code is being run now (without stopping the execution)?
Unfortunately no. For long-lasting execution times like that, a good developing practice is to display some information from time to time to inform the end user of the execution status.
However, if the programs produces files all along the way (like for instance at every step in an iterative simulation) you can check on your computer that the files are well-produced, and the production rate will more or less inform you on the total execution time.
For all your other questions, well, it's up to you to decide what to do (stop it or let it run). Be aware that the execution time can differ significantly from one machine to another, so the time it took on the author's machine may not be really informative to you.
In the future, I would advise you to react faster than within a week. When you launch a code that has a long execution time and see that there is no display within the first hour, you should stop it, modify it such that it regulatly displays information, and re-run it. It's better to loose one hour than one week.
Best,
We've been using Entity Framework Code First 5 for a little while now, without major issue.
I've recently discovered that ANY change I make to my model (such as adding a field, or removing a field) means that the Seed method no longer runs leaving my database in an invalid state.
If I reverse the change, the seed method runs fine.
I have tried making changes to varying parts of my model, so it's not the specific change which is relevant.
Anyone know how I can (a) debug what the specific issue is, or (b) come across this themselves and know how to fix it?
UPDATE: After the model change, however many times I query the database it doesn't run the Seed. However, I have found that if I manually run IISRESET, and then re-execute the web service which executes the query it does then run the seed! Anyone know why this would be the case, and why suddenly I need to reset IIS in between the database initialization and the Seed executing?
Many thanks Steve
