Ships in a Storm
In this google document, the story and rules are explained in more depth.
Model HLDVensim Model
Vensim is a systems modeling software. Its sensitive variable sliders allow for precise manipulation of the simulation. It is a free software application that was developed by Ventana Systems. To access the file click on the link to download the file and open it in Vensim.
Vensim Model
The model displays the systems dynamics using rates and box quantities. In synthesim mode, the variable slider bars can be adjusted to affect the rates of ship construction, docking, damage, navigation, etc. These charges are reflected im the graph in the volume of ships at sea, docked ships, and ship wrecks.
AgentCubes Model
AgentCubesOnline is an agent modeling website that is used to code 3D worlds. This tool is great for creating an interactive simulation with adjustable attributes. This 3D tool is supported by the National Science Foundation.
AgentCubes Model
This model shows ships in a sea overrun by treacherous storms and immense rocks. In this scenario, a fleet of ship must navigate their way to safe island. They can be damaged and sink when they are next to a rock or hurricane. The aim is for the ships to outlast the perilous storms. The impact of each agent is more apparent when the scale is small.
