You could also consider a queue instead as you can remove things from one of those.

Re: Help me with Staff model

I'd start by removing "people quitting" and thinking about implementing it in a different way. The equation is too complex for that anyway. As you are directly delaying "People to train" to calculate "People trained", if you do have people quitting, "Training"...

No, there are hundreds of places in Vensim where you can select text, that's why I asked for more info.

Re: Cumulative flow does not match stock

1. Does your model pass the units test?

2. Have you selected an appropriate time step? https://www.vensim.com/documentation/ref_time_step.html

It's impossible to comment further without the model.

Re: Floating Point Error

You do have units errors in your model.

Start with "base burning rate". That should not be measured in 1/year, I'm pretty certain it will be tonnes/year. Same for "base discovery rate". Correct the units for these, and you'll see where the error is.

Re: publishing a model independently from its directory

It should be independent of the folder. But it's impossible to help further without a published model to look at. If you have hard coded the path to a spreadsheet in the model, then that would cause this problem.

Re: Request of SD advice - Ph.D Thesis results

There are two things I do not like to see when reading papers. 1. Models that have unit errors or missing units. I immediately assume the model is full of errors. If the model cannot past this basic check, then it suggests to me that the author has not taken the time to make sure things are correct ...

Same answer as before, it's impossible to say anything as you haven't uploaded the model. We cannot possibly know why the lines are not moving without seeing the model.

Re: Help with PULSE TRAIN and random variable

SAMPLE IF TRUE will hold a value until something is "true". So create a variable that equals 1 every 365 days, and use that in the call to SAMPLE IF TRUE.
