Analysis of system dynamics with Vensim

Systems dynamics is "a computer-aided approach to policy analysis and design. It applies to dynamic problems arising in complex social, managerial, economic, or ecological systems — literally any dynamic systems characterized by interdependence, mutual interaction, information feedback, and circular causality."

One software to help accomplish this is Vensim -
