These commands convert a model file from one format to another without opening it, so the model currently loaded is unaffected. Each takes one argument, filename, and writes a file with the same name and the new extension in the same directory.
•FILE>MDL2VMFX|filename reads a text model (.mdl) and writes it in binary form (.vmfx). FILE>MDL2VMF is the older name for the same command.
•FILE>MDL2XML|filename writes a text model as .xml.
•FILE>MDL2XMILE|filename writes a text model in XMILE format (.xmile).
•FILE>VMFX2MDL|filename reads a binary model (.vmfx) and writes it as text (.mdl). FILE>VMF2MDL is the older name.
•FILE>VMF2XML|filename writes a binary model as .xml. FILE>VMFX2XML is the same command.
•FILE>VMF2XMILE|filename writes a binary model in XMILE format. FILE>VMFX2XMILE is the same command.
The commands that read a binary model use the .vmfx file of that name, whatever extension you give. They are not available in the Vensim DLL.
FILE>MDL2VMFX|mymodel.mdl
FILE>VMF2XMILE|mymodel.vmfx
