Calc Transition Matrix Using Vensim

This operator is no longer part of Dinamica EGO 2.2.

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.
