Epicenter directly simulates Vensim models, using a special Vensim engine. To use your Vensim model with Epicenter, it must be saved as a VMF binary file (file name ending in ".vmf"). Many Vensim models, in addition to the .vmf file, may also use external resources, such as spreadsheets...
MaximumRate : NormalRate The above expression evaluates to MaximumRate when the Level is lower than 10 and to NormalRate otherwise. This is equivalent to the Vensim™ IF THEN ELSE function. You can define custom Java functions implementing analytical or general algorithmic dependencies and use ...
Future research, 24 however, is needed to examine this notion. 25 26 Methodological Implications 27 28 The use of computer simulations of a theory and the comparison of the 29 behavior of the simulation with the behavior of humans will become more 30 frequent as computational modeling becomes ...
In fact, the model presented in this paper was fully customized to the local context, being informed by the group model building exercise. No “off the shelf” model was employed, given the unique nature of the Bita River basin. The modeling process was carried out using the software Vensim...
Therefore, the collaborative economy has significant potential in promoting the sustainable use of resources. However, there is a lack of empirical research on the contribution and potential of collaborative economy business practices in promoting the transition to a circular economy. The existing ...
Such a .vip file is a container image in a private format that can only be used with the official Vensim installer. The .vip extension was also used to represent the Microsoft Visual InterDev Web Project Definition (.vip) file type associated with Microsoft Visual InterDev, an IDE for ASP-...
