Stella graph function in Vensim?

Post by aboutaleb »

Hi dear friends
I've recently joined the forum and I'll use your helpful comments for my system dynamics course.
At first I need a document in order to adopt the vensim's and stella's functions.
For instance, which function in vensim can performe as "graph" function in stella??
I need it for running this part of an example:
Death_Fraction = GRAPH(Density)
(0.00, 0.08), (10.0, 0.08), (20.0, 0.085), (30.0, 0.09), (40.0, 0.1), (50.0, 0.12), (60.0, 0.14), (70.0, 0.17),
(80.0, 0.2), (90.0, 0.24), (100, 0.3)
DOCUMENT: The death fraction is dependent on the density of the population. The higher the density,
the larger the fraction of the population that dies each year.
Thanks in advance

I'm unfamiliar with Stealla, but I think you need a lookup table.

See

The simple way to do this is with function WITH LOOKUP, or an table LOOKUP(see the model attached) or if you need extrapolation with function LOOKUP EXTRAPOLATE.
