If the old trunk copy is being loaded, then you won't actually be using the dante code, which could give this error. If that's not the problem then I'm not sure -- let me know and I'll try it myself. > 1. How about using frequency domain representations while making > dynamic models.

I think that such approaches might be interesting for oscillating systems, but we're most interested in systems like solar energy systems where there is a transient and relatively random input signal in the time domain. > 1.

We've considered an in-built editor in the past, but I think the conclusion was that there is a lot of other more important 'basic' functionality that we should worry about first... eg stuff like saving results and plotting results for a range of simulation cases, etc. There are plenty of external editors that do the job very well, so I thought that this task was not very important. > Right now I am working on the Save As implementation bug.

We're working on the 'application template' at the moment, as soon as that's ready we'll write a message to this mailing list.
