We start this lecture with very brief tutorials of building, executing, and analyzing stock-and-flow diagrams in both Vensim PLE (from Ventana Systems) and Insight Maker. We then move on to cover Chapter 3 from Morecroft (2015), which is an introduction to dynamical systems modeling (i.e., using stock-and-flow diagrams to simulate dynamical system behavior-over-time trajectories). The chapter coverage is truncated due to lack of time, but we cover the identification of stocks and how to draw links between them that help us visualize the dependencies that emerge from the flow models used.
