modelLinearChange
Process of growth or decline at given rate
Extends from Interfaces.PartialCLD.SourceOrSink (Partial source or sink for causal loop diagramming).
Information
This information is part of the Business Simulation Library (BSL). Please support this work and ► donate.
Using the →ExogenousChange component from the SourcesOrSinks package, this component allows to model linear (additive) change at a given a constant rate or at an exogneous rate given by the input u_rate.
The process by default is active over the whole simulation run, but can be restricted to an on-off period using tc = TimingChoices.period and the parameters startTime and stopTime. Any given rate—rate or u_rate—can be modified by multiplication with an optionally given input u.
