Access/CPN

Access/CPN

Access/CPN should run on all platforms (i.e., 32 and 64 bit versions of Mac OS X (Intel), Windows XP, 7, 8, and Linux). If you use Access/CPN with CPN Tools (e.g., by loading models from CPN Tools into Access/CPN), make sure the versions of the two match. At any time, the stable versions of both tools will match. I also note on the change log […]

Convert the XML file generated by Design/CPN to the XML format for CPN Tools. Load the file generated by the converter in to CPN Tools. Each of these steps are […]

Why is the simulation report not saved?

Why is the simulation report not saved?

In version 1.4.0 (and earlier) of CPN Tools, the help pages indicated that simulation reports are saved in the directory C:\tmp. If this directory does not exist, then a simulation report will not be saved. Simulation reports are saved by default as C:\tmp\simrep-<process id>.txt. There are, however, problems if CPN Tools is not installed on the C: disk drive. If CPN Tools is not installed […]
