how to set a target value for my model?

[kalegria]

Hi,

I am trying to create a payoff that MINIMIZES the metric I created that is a function of the gap between my target and actual value, since goal-seeking is not available in Vensim.

However, I do not see an option to MINIMIZE payoff, it seems like Vensim automatically maximizes payoff, does not give you the option to MINIMIZE instead. Or perhaps I missed it.

Could you please help me with setting up a payoff that minimizes my gap metric? Thank you.

I've moved your post to a new topic.

You can do goal seeking in Vensim. See the example in the help system on calibration,

If you want to minimize the payoff, set the weight to a negative value.
