Find connections between two variables?

Post by kleemax »

In big models with many views and subscripts, it is sometimes cumbersome to find if two variables already have a causal connection.
Is there an automated way of doing that similar to the loops tool in Vensim? I would imagine the output to be a list of causal chains with the two variables at beginning and end (or a message that no causal connection was found).

There is not a way that I know of. But it sounds like a useful tool, so I'll add it as an enhancement in our system.

Actually, maybe SDMDoc might be able to do it?

I like SDMDoc, but in my experience it does not work for large models, it crashes when applying it to large models.

Thanks for considering adding this as a feature.
