Conditional TIME_STEP...?

[burley]

Is it possible (as part of the model) to make TIME_STEP conditional on the simulation interval, i.e. FINAL_TIME - INITIAL_TIME, rather than changing it in the Model Settings? Thanks.

You can write equations for any of these control parameters - see the ball.mdl example model. For Vensim PLE and PLE Plus you need to add the control parms to a sketch using the Shadow Variable tool while holding down the Shift key. Then make the connections you want for inputs.

If you do not want the value to change during a simulation make the type INITIAL.
