خرید کتاب SYSTEM DYNAMICS MODELLING WITH VENSIM: A quick guide to building causal loops and stock and flow diagrams

This book offers a time-efficient approach for readers to acquire step-by-step knowledge in the formation and construction of dynamic models using Vensim.

It addresses the challenge of working with minimal current and historical data by providing simulation models that accommodate such analyses. By constructing realistic hypotheses and elaborate behavior models, students can effectively utilize the Vensim software for model construction and simulation.

By the end of the book, readers will be able to:

– Understand the components of a complex system.
– Analyze the natural evolution of the system under study.
– Develop a comprehensive model of the system and demonstrate it using simulation software.
– Perform simulations with the model to predict the system’s behavior.

Overall, this book equips readers with practical skills and knowledge to effectively model and simulate complex systems using Vensim.The book contains downloadable material !
