How to get time at equilibrium

Post by Monte »

Dear Sirs,

Is there a simple and quick way to observe the time when a level reaches equilibrium. That time is very sensitive. In sensitivity testing, I had to adjust the time scale of the output graph every time, to be able to know when the level reach final equilibrium.

Is there a special function to tell me when the level just stops changing?

Thank you very much.

Just compare your variable to a smooth of the variable for example for a strictly positive variable

fractional change magnitude = ABS(variable - SMOOTH(variable,TIME STEP))/(variable * TIME STEP)

would be a good measure.
