I found three issues:

  1. I was unable to open a model using the webserver using FlexSim 2024 Update 1. Only Update 2 seems to work. I wonder if we fixed some bugs that broke compatibility with 24.1.
  2. In server.js, the following line needs to be changed:
    1. // remove "new" from this line, near 464
    2. busboy = Busboy({ headers: req.headers });
  3. In queryhandlers.js, the following line needs to be changed:
    1. // add .filename after file.name, near 337
    2. file.mv(settings.general.modelDirectory + '/' + file.name.filename, function(err) {

After making those changes, I was able to upload and run a model. I'll add this question to the dev list so we can make these changes for everyone. @Jacob Gillespie may have more/better information.
