SOS 212: Lecture E1 (2020-03-05) - Units, Sliders, Converters, and Lookup Tables [PARTIAL VIDEO]

Описание: Unfortunately, due to a technical issue, a recording of the first half of this lecture was lost. Consequently, this recording skips through that content and starts with the second half of the content.

Fortunately, this lecture's content is covered by three independent tutorial videos (which also include advanced topics not covered in the main lecture). Students are encouraged to view those videos as well:

Video: Interacting with Vensim: Embedded Plots and Sliders

Video: Units in Vensim - Unit Synonyms and Checking Units

Video: Units in Insight Maker - Unit Synonyms, Conversions, and Checking
   • SOS212: Units in Insight Maker - Unit Syno...  

If this recorded was complete, it would first cover how to configure Vensim and Insight Maker to use units in order to find formulas problems that result in incorrectly calculated units. It would then cover the use of Sliders to more quickly change and experiment with model parameters. It would then close on the use of lookup tables (or "converters" in Insight Maker) to define relationships graphically (as opposed to with formulas).

There are examples built into the lecture notes, and there are also additional examples given within Vensim and Insight Maker live during the lecture.

This lecture was recorded by Theodore Pavlic as part of SOS 212 (Systems, Dynamics, and Sustainability) at Arizona State University. The lecture is recorded while the class takes place over a Zoom conference call, and so there are some references to students from the class who are interacting during the Zoom call.
