Send the email attachments to: jacobson@cs.uni.edu TO: jacobson@cs.uni.edu SUBJECT: VENSIM Assign What to attach in the email message: 1. The Word document with the GRAPH of births, deaths, and population. 2. The Vensim model file, which will have an extension of .MDL.
Make sure the TABLE is RUNNING DOWN instead of across the page New option of showing the line widths at different thickness to make it easier to see which line is for which graph: Births - lineW 3 Deaths - lineW 1 Population - lineW 6 Customizing the Y-axis Minimum and Maximum for the POPULATION How to have Births and Deaths share the same SCALE on the Y-axis. -----
SHODOR tutorials on Ventana VENSIM, the system dynamics modeling toolset. The Vensim PLE Online Tutorial would be especially useful practice and background if you missed class.
0:00 - Introduction, new model, adding stocks and flows 1:48 - Defining equations 5:39 - Running the model & seeing output 7:36 - Placing a graph on the screen and running live with SynthesimSo you can go FULL SCREEN: Building A Simple VENSIM Model - Venn there, SIMulated that - Been There, Done That.
You can also send an attachment of the GRAPH and of the TABLE, that you have inserted (Copied and Pasted as shown in class) into a Microsoft Word document. If you have trouble with that, just print out the TABLE and the GRAPH or see me before or after class for help on that part.
Your graph and table will be of the births, deaths, and population. The TABLE does not have to include ALL of the rows. Just the first 5 or 10 rows and the last 5 or 10 rows would be enough. It should be clear from the assignment handout, which shows what my graph and my table looked like.
