Default Module Development SDK

I guess I haven't yet posted this to the wider community, so here it is. For version 7.0 we added a lot of new documentation and functionality for development of modules. We're hosting the SDK on bitbucket, so you can download/access the documentation there. You'll want to access the correct revision associated with the version of FlexSim you are programming against. You likely DO NOT want to access the tip revision, because that is the branch we developers are coding against, so it may include things that have not yet been released and will not work in your version of FlexSim. When we make releases, we will tag the associated SDK repository revision so you can update to the correct revision for the version of FlexSim you are using.

The list of tags is here:
https://bitbucket.org/flexsim/FlexSimModuleSDK/downloads

Go to the Tags tab and select the zip file for the tag that's closest to the FlexSim version you have (if you're on 7.0.6, v7.0_Release is for you). Download and extract, then open README.html to see the documentation and other stuff.

Warning: the Module SDK is directed at developers, not really at end users. Developers are FlexSimmers who are willing to actively maintain software over its lifetime. Modules WILL NEED TO BE UPDATED when new feature versions of FlexSim come out (although hopefully the updates won't be too hard), so please realize what you're getting into before you dive in.

Hi Anthony, I hope you could help me, I was going through the module sdk tutorial and then I can't seem to do a defaultviewsave, it throws an exception:

exception: Exception caught in globalcommand_savebyname()
exception: Exception caught in flexscript execution of VIEW:/standardviews/savedefaultviewproject line 108 instruction 299. Discontinuing execution.

and it seems to have deleted the model, how is this possible?

I think you may not have write permissions to the Flexsim\program directory, which is causing the exception. Either move/copy your entire flexsim directory into a writable location, or add write permissions to that directory.

Sorry to ask again but when it comes to the part where I have to drag the MyExecuter, Flexsim crashes and when I reboot it, it loads everything as it crashed but the model view where it shows now the welcome screen, has this happened before? :\

Make sure you've defined the object's classes attribute as ModuleName::ClassName, and make sure you have implemented the instance creator in your createodtderivative() function in your module dll.
