This is equivalent to the Vensim™ IF THEN ELSE function. You can define custom Java functions implementing analytical or general algorithmic dependencies and use them in SD equations. The functions should return the Java type double. For example, suppose a dependency of a certain form is used...
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 ...
Finally, VENSIM software is used to construct the SD model (Figure 1). The year 2014 was used as the base year of simulation, the TIME STEP was set to 1 year, the INITIAL TIME selected was 2014, and the FINAL TIME was 2035. The variables were defined by relevant research conclusions,...
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....
