Spreading subscript elements over time
Posted: Fri Mar 19, 2021 11:14 pm
Hello,
I'm working on a simple model to calculate end of life vehicles based on sales. When I used other SD software, I was able to have subscripts as number, and made use of time to spread out the sales by year. However, because Vensim subscripts only accept text, I have to work around by entering a function for each subscript, which is time consuming. Another issue is that I also have to track vehicle age by using a stock, instead of having age as a subscript like the other software.
Is there a better way to model this other than my work around approach? Any feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you!
