... Read more
Jefferson Rajah & Martin Grimeland 2021 This ILE is designed to deepen students’ understanding by investigating the gain of feedback loops, which quantifies the strength of loops. By studying the development over time of the loop gain, students are expected to build confidence in their assessment of how loops interplay to produce the observed system behaviour. Although Stella’s Loops That Matter is an excellent alternative to this, the added benefit here is that students can directly associate the strength of loops to the relevant parameter values, and thus understand the important role these structural elements play.

© Will Noyes 2021 This model is intended to teach and demonstrate various concepts related to building policy models. This model specifically seeks a policy to increase bus ridership in Bergen through expanding bus route availability. The policy takes into account a dynamic goal that factors in population growth and includes financial impact analysis to demonstrate how to incorporate financial and budgetary considerations into a policy proposal.

Will Noyes, Faith Kiprono & Min Xiang 2020 This project aims to help Bergen meet the T9 goal that ‘all new passenger cars are fossil-free from 2025’. The project intends to identify the underlying causal relationships linking the different factors affecting a 100 % switch to fossil-free passenger vehicles.

© Ismay Bax 2022
This model explains the interrelationship of the various mechanisms that are part of the underlying structure which causes perfectionists to often be unable to stay committed to their own choices. Furthermore, the dynamic hypothesis and the resulting behavior may help perfectionists to better understand themselves and may aid in the perfectionist’s ability to retain their choice commitment.

Enabling Resilient Food Systems: Simulating the Impact on Local Farmers' Livelihoods in Greater Adelaide, Australia

... Read more
© Jefferson Rajah & Martin Grimeland 2022 Considering the complex and dynamic nature of food systems, the System Dynamics method was opted for investigating the questions posed. Representing the real-world system responsible for farmers´ livelihoods, a simulation SD model was constructed as a proof-of-concept for the councils' policy strategy. It is evident, based on the findings of the model, that increasing food system literacy does indeed increase the resilience of SME farmers' livelihoods.

... Read more
© Jefferson Rajah 2021 Passionate workers join the non-profit sector only to experience a collapse in their passion level as a result of organisational conditions, and thus shore up their intention to leave over time. The results from this model suggest that work overload and physical exhaustion affecting productivity, fall in professional efficacy, and negative affection from perceived organisational injustice drive the collapse in passion. Of these, role overload and high expectations of passionate employees was found to have the highest impact. Originally developed for the course GEO-SD304 and presented at the International System Dynamics Conference.

© Will Noyes 2020
This is an educational tool to learn about the commonly used builtin formulas in Stella. For each formula there is a basic description, a model representation that allows you to control the different inputs, and one or two output graphs that show the result of that formula. If you would like more information on any of these builtins or on any that are not demonstrated here, remember that you can always consult Stella Help.
Uploading a Bundle from Zip
Instead of creating bundles, categories, and assemblies one by one, you can upload a single zip file that contains all of your bundle's content. To create your zipped bundle, make a folder with your bundle's name and add subfolders with your categories' names. The folder tree should have the same structure that you want the categories to have in your bundle. Place your assembly .stmx files in the appropriate category folders, then zip your bundle folder and upload it using the Upload Bundle from Zip link above.
Assemblies, Bundles, and Categories
Assemblies are self contained models that demonstrate common ways to connect together building blocks and that can be used as parts of other models. This is analogous to using prefabricated wall and roof pieces to construct a house.
Bundles are groups of assemblies with a common use or theme. For example, a Health Care bundle might contain a variety of assemblies that aid in creating health care models. When you download assemblies from the isee Exchange™, you download an entire bundle, rather than individual assemblies.
Categories are subgroups of assemblies within a bundle. For example, a Health Care bundle might contain a Funding category for assemblies related to the management of hospital funds. All assemblies must be assigned to a category—they cannot be assigned to the root of a bundle.
Assemblies, bundles, and categories can be created and uploaded to the isee Exchange™ via the options on the Manage My Assemblies page. To learn more, visit our help pages, or take our assemblies tutorial.
Sim App (Sim)
An interface that allows users to interact with a model.
Sim apps allow users to interact with a model using buttons, sliders, knobs, tables, graphs, and storytelling. These interactions help users understand how parts of a system interact.
Interfaces are created by model authors in the Stella desktop software and can be uploaded to the isee Exchange™.
Model
A diagram that represents how elements in a system influence one another.
Models are mathematical representations of how elements in a system are connected and interact (e.g., ecosystems, organizations, supply chains). When running models on the isee Exchange™, results can be viewed in output devices like graphs and tables.
Models appear in the isee Exchange™ directory when authors upload them from the Stella® desktop software or create them with Stella Online™.
Causal Loop Diagram (CLD)
A map that represents the feedback structure of a system.
CLDs are high-level maps that represents the feedback structure of a system and easily communicate the essence of a model. They appear in the isee Exchange™ when authors upload them from the Stella desktop software or create them with Stella Online™.
