Hi!
Looking at the current discussion, I am faced with a more fundamental doubt.
What is the key difference between System Dynamics and Discrete event
simulation? Does the presence of feedback loop/loops only signify that the
modelling is System Dynamics or is there something else?
Would be grateful if someone could resolve this confusion for me.

Thanks
Rahul
