Calc Transition Matrix Using Vensim

This operator is deprecated and will be removed in the future versions of Dinamica EGO.

Description

Gets transition rates from variables specified in a Vensim external model.

Inputs

Name Type Description
Landscape Categorical Map Map of classes or categories.
Vensim Model Filename Path Vensim model filename and path.
Initial Area Variables Vensim Category Variable Set List of Vensim variables selected to receive the initial land use and cover area distribution. The area figures are transferred to Vensim in hectares.
Transition Rate Variables Vensim Transition Variable Matrix Matrix of Vensim variables that output the transition rates to be passed to Dinamica.
Initial Time Non Negative Int Simulation initial time according to Vensim time specification.

Optional Inputs

Name Type Description Default Value
Step Non Negative Int Current step or model iteration. 0

Outputs

Name Type Description
Transition Matrix Transition Matrix Matrix of transition rates.

Notes

A linkage between Vensim - a system thinking software - and Dinamica EGO was developed. A complex model can be written by using this software and its results passed simultaneously to Dinamica EGO. As a result both models can be coupled by the exchange of dynamic transition rates and the distribution of land use and land cover classes.
