I'd like to thank the list for your thoughts last month on which SD tool would be appropriate for my students. This year we've gone with VensimPLE for reasons of simplicity, maturity, and cost, and will revisit the choice again next year.

As part of my lecturing, I was hoping to find a graphical depiction of the World3 model that all appears on one page. The model that ships with Vensim is spread over multiple pages, and if it is possible to see it in an integrated form I haven't figured out how to enable that view.
Does anyone have such a depiction (ideally in vector, not raster form) that they would be willing to share?

Thanks!

On pp. 132-133 of Randers 1980 book Elements of the System Dynamics Method,
there is a picture of the entire World3 model. It's two book pages, but it
can be easily copied onto a single 8.5x11 or A4 sheet of paper.
