Help please-Calculating number of reinforcing/balancing loops passing a variable in VENSIM PLE
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:00 am
Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried to calculate number of reinforcing or balancing loops passing a specific variable in a system?
I have built a conceptual model and identified some key variables. I now want to check whether reinforcing loops or balancing loops dominate that variable, however there are too many loops involved that variable (~200 loops). It seems impossible to manually count every single loop to identify either reinforcing or balancing for about 5 variables as it will come up about 1000 loops.
Is there any way we can know a loop belongs to reinforcing or balancing without counting everylink relating a variable?
I appreciate any comment or suggestion.
Regards,
Thanh
