Is it possible to create an executable version of a model? You send someone just that one file and he runs it and the models runs with no menus except the custom dashboard you have created so he can change parameters.
If that is not possible, is there another way to do something similar? The main objective is for that person to NOT have access to the model logic and programming. Using it without being able to copy or edit it.
I assume that's possible through a web page but is there another way?
You should take a look at the FlexSim Module SDK (here's a link). There is some documentation in there about how to make an Environment (Documentation/Environments.html). There are two kinds of environments: Module and Model. You want a Model Environment. The environment should allow you to strip down the UI the way you are thinking. You can set it up so that the environment is applied when the model is opened, leaving the model user with only the options you have allowed.
But I think the person still needs to install Flexsim in order to run the model. Correct? It is not 1 self-contained file?
Also where can we find the commands to "delete menu bars" for example?
Yes, you need to install FlexSim in order to run a FlexSim model. We don't have a "runner" that is a single file. The FlexSim application runs FlexSim models.
You can delete menu bars by changing the contents of the node VIEW:/rootmenu/replace and calling maintenance(21);
When I open the tree view, the highest node I see is Model. How do I see the nodes above that? (where I assume View is)
