Variant input to a simulation subsystem in LVSim 2.0

[ChrisP]

I have a simulation subsystem that takes a variant as one of its inputs. This worked well for my purpose in Labview 7.1. I've now upgraded to LabView 8.0 and simulation module 2.0.  The subsystem appears correct when opened, but when I use it in a simulation loop, the variant input appears as type void and connecting a variant to it causes an error. Is this an error with my VI or are variants no longer allowed in simulation subsystems?

Chris,
I see what you mean. I looked through the release notes and Help files but did not see any mention of the variant data type.  I will see if R&D has a more definite answer.

Best Regards,

Chris,

I don't believe this is expected behavior and I have submitted the issue to R&D (3Z5FDQG0). As a workaround, you can try using the Variant to Flattened String and Flattened String to Variant on either side of the code you turn into your subsystem.
