Where can I find the autosave-file?

Hi everyone,

unfortunately my FlexSim-Version crashes sometimes. This wouldn't be a problem if the autosave-function would work properly, but it doesn't. It is enabled but I can't find the _autosave-version anywhere. I would be glad if somebody can help me.

Thanks

Joel

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.1.0

Auto save files can be found in the same directory as the model file. The name will be ModelName_autosave.fsm.

If you're not seeing an auto save file with your model then FlexSim isn't able to perform an auto save. FlexSim can't save your model unless the model is in a reset state. So if you run your model and are always keeping it at a time > 0, the auto save will not occur.

Hm, I opened the model and did nothing else in FlexSim for more than one houer now and there still isn't an _autosave-file. I also tried to uncheck the option in the settings, restart FlexSim, check it again and restart again but without success. I only have an educational license, may this be the problem?

This code should save an autosave version of your model. Can you open your model, paste this code into a script console and execute it?

applicationcommand("executescripts", node("MAIN:/project/events/OnAutoSaveModel"));

Did that work?

When I execute the code, it returns 0 but there is still no autosave-file.

Thanks for your help anyway.

@Joel SL

Maybe you don't have permission to save in the folder you opened the model from?

I don't have admin rights on the laptop I'm working with, maybe this is the problem? But it's okay, I taught myself to use the auto increment save-function regularly ;-)

I appreciate your help anyway.
