how can I use Vensim to identify all causal loops?

Post by xinfang »

Can I ask whether the Vensim can identify all causal loops in a diagram I type in? If so, how can I do this?

Open the help and search for "loops". The first result is the loops tool.

Note that the loops tool only finds all the loops through a given variable, so you may need to use it in several locations if your model is not strongly connected.

Oh I see, it's only through a selected variable. Thanks!
