In this lecture, we discuss how to embellish basic System Dynamics Modeling (SDM) simulation models with additional complexity and more efficiently interact with working simulation models. In particular, we introduce units (in both Vensim and Insight Maker) as a tool for the verification and validation of simulation models. We also discuss how to use sliders (in both Vensim and Insight Maker) to quickly adjust parameters (constants) and generate new outputs. We close with a discussion of lookup tables (converters) as well as how to implement them in both Vensim and Insight Maker.
