Main technical features and functionalities
A free online tool that allows you to create simple simulations of systems, using positive and negative reinforcement loops.
The application is entirely online requiring no installations.
No login is required to get started and created simulations can be downloaded as a file, embedded in webpages or exported as animated GIF:s-
Examples on how to use them to analyse Complex Systems
The tool can be used in classroom settings to visualize how changes can propagate in a system and how systemic behaviors appear. It can also serve to illustrate balancing of systems.
Ideal for smaller classroom exercises illustrating the fundamentals of systems thinking.
