Finding unique feedback loops

Post by kaveh.dianati »

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.

No. Even for small models, the number of loops can run into millions.

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.
