thanks for your reply, I have noticed that any variable i create to take the value of a division of two levels in vensim does that....it there any way can fix this....as in the previous case, "level of modularity" was a value to represent the value of the division of levels "errorneou...

Re: time deley

tnx for d reply, however, the ignored rate is a function of the fake stock so I still get errors "simultaneous equations involving "rate" and "cow" is not used in the model

Re: time deley

many thanks Tom, however, I tried it as u described in the attached model but still have a problem. The first boxed axillary variable still sees "rate" as an outflow,which I would have though shouldn't be so since "goat" is technically not a level anymore Because of this, the equ...

Hi, a bit of help needed pls. In this model example, the levels "incomings" "worked" and posted work ideally need not be levels but for some behavioral explanation I made them to be. Therefore, I need to analyze the behavior of these levels concurrently.is there anyway I can remo...

Re: lookup

tnx, but what variable name do I give the time step (round of simulation) in the lookup function...I still dont get how the lookup variable will accept each iterative time count as the input to produce the lookup output

hi there,

Please, is there a way I can create a lookup to accept the time step as the input?say, for example, A= 8 for time 1, A= 6 for time 2.....

multiple IF THEN ELSE equatios

Hi
I am wondering how to combine multiple "IF THEN ELSE " statements in the same equation.i.e. how to I represent in a single equation 3 or 4 conditions of a statement with he same IF THEN ELSE equation?

Function to create Multiple "IF...ELSE" statements

Hi, I am building a model with a variable, say X, with a function to take a value of various multipliers depending on the range of its input.e.g if X input 0.8-1, X output = 1,if X input is 0.6 - 0.79, X output = 0.8...so this is more or less like a "switch" statement.Can I do this in Vens...
