I need an idea on how to model the following situation on Vensim:
I have students graduating from a five year course and entering the workforce, which is a variable containing 10 age groups (25-30, 30-35 and so on). How can I control the flow from one age group to another? When is this transition going to happen and how can I model it?
Thanks.

One simple example is here

Normally a continuous aging process is most appropriate, but if you need to minimize dispersion through the age cohorts you can use the SHIFT IF TRUE function - see the documentation for a simple example of that.
