Hi,
I know there is a Loops button to find feedback loops going through a single variable.
But is it possible to find all unique feedback loops that exist in a model, going through all variables but counting each loop only once?
Thanks,
Kaveh.

Re: Finding unique feedback loops
No. Even for small models, the number of loops can run into millions.

Units are important!

Thanks for your quick response.
Re: Finding unique feedback loops
However, this is an area of active development, using the shortest independent loop set methodology originated by Kampmann and developed by a number of others in the SD literature.
