Guidance

This page is the home page for a set of guidance notes on ecological and environmental modelling, with an emphasis on the steps to go through to convert existing models. The aim is thus not to teach ecological modelling per se, but rather the much easier one of learning how to map the description of a model in some source (normally, a publication) with the notation used in the target modelling environment.

Worked example of converting a simple System Dynamics model, implemented in Vensim, into Simile.

Tips and tricks for handling particular issues.

Additional functions provided for handling functions available in Vensim/Stella and not provided with Simile

Learning resources for ecological modelling - documents, presentations, web sites.
