Building the Model
Step 0 Basic Building Blocks |
|
Before you begin building your model, take a look at the basic building blocks that you will use to create the model:
|
Box Variables represent quantities. These are the main "nouns" in a system and are sometimes refered to as Level Variables.
|
|
Rates represent changes over time. These are the main "verbs" in a system and are sometimes refered to as Flows.
|
|
Auxiliary Variables represent constants and other parameters. These loosely corespond to "adjectives" and "adverbs" in a system.
|
|
Connectors indicate dependencies between objects. In other words, I need to know this to calculate that.
