There are details on both functions in the help system, it's best to take a look at that to see the differences.

https://www.vensim.com/documentation/fn_delay1.htm

Code: Select all

DELAY1=LV/delay time

LV=INTEG(input-DELAY1,input*delay time)

DELAY1I=LV/delay time

LV=INTEG(input-DELAY1I,initial value*delay time)
https://www.vensim.com/documentation/fn_smooth.htm

Code: Select all

SMOOTH=INTEG((input-SMOOTH)/delay time,input)

SMOOTHI=INTEG((input-SMOOTHI)/delay time,initial value)
The difference arises if the delay time changes - try a step in the delay time.
