Hello,
I was wondering if it would be possible to have various sets of priorities that are used under different criteria while using the ALLOCATE AVAILABLE function.
For example:
I have my declining available supply, I have my vector of demands by sector and I have TWO vectors of priorities by sector; The first set of priorities is for when available supply is still above a critical threshold point and the second set of priorities is for when available supply falls below this critical threshold point.
I believe I have set up this described structure by altering the ALLOCATE AVAIALABLE.mdl example provided in the Vensim Help Manual.
I have added this file below. (Currently set so both priority vectors are identical)
However, when I change one of the priority vectors to have different values, this of course creates a step-wise jump to the new deliveries/shipments to each sector as the priorities have suddenly and immediate changed - once the given threshold value for total available supply is reached.
Can you think of a way to have this shift in priorities occurs gradually so it slowly approaches these new priorities instead of suddenly making this jump to new values of deliveries but instead a smoother transition.
Please let me know if this is unclear. I hope I am following protocol.
Thanks for your time and help.

Re: Using different sets of priorities with ALLOCATE AVAILABLE
You could use a smooth function on "deliveries" to get rid of the jump. The longer time you smooth over, the longer it takes to make the jump.cortney wrote: ↑Wed Jun 27, 2018 9:09 amHowever, when I change one of the priority vectors to have different values, this of course creates a step-wise jump to the new deliveries/shipments to each sector as the priorities have suddenly and immediate changed - once the given threshold value for total available supply is reached.
