Vensim time step

Eddie · Post by **Eddie** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 9:51 am

Good morning

I am currently working in a R&D service and using Vensim for modelling and simulation.

The model considers some variables with year integration, others with day integration so:

Does someone know if it is possible to use, for instance, 2 different time steps for 2 different parts of my model? I mean one time step / view.

Tell me if I have to be more accurate for a more consistent reply.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Enjoy your day

Eddie

Currently you need to use a single time step - normally the smallest of the two. The units for time constants and rates also need to be the same - though you can use something like:

Cum Revenue = INTEG(revenue/Days Per Year,0) $
revenue = ... $/Year
Days Per Year = 365 day/year

to simplify things.

thanks, I am going that way and see the results.
