Post by Marrakech13 »

Hi!

Can anybody help me to adapt the Forrester's urban model to specific town and simplify it?I'm a student.I've got a task to make model of sustainable development of my native town.I'm an amateur in Vensim but I need it as fast as possible.I will not do this task in time if i'll puzzle out this model myself. I need help!)

Thank you!

There is lots of help available, but you need to ask more specific questions.

What parts of the model do you need help with?

I need to know what data is needed for modelling the specific town. I've looked the variables in model. But I didn't understand what variables are need to be changed and which ones have to be as they are.

Have a read of this thread first
http://www.ventanasystems.co.uk/forum/v ... f=2&t=4391

The first point in the list is very relevant here. You've asked for help but not given any idea of what you need apart from "what data is needed for modelling the specific town". Unless someone reads this thread and is familiar with Forrester's urban model, nobody is going to be able to help.
