Vensim Help

The Loops tool displays a list of all feedback loops passing through the Workbench Variable.  The list is ordered from the shortest loop (the one involving the least number of variables) to the longest loop.  This provides useful summary information on model interactions.  Only loops of length less than 32 variables are searched for.  The Loops tool has no options.

Loops Output

Each time you invoke the Loops tool, Vensim creates a text window listing the loops found and their length.

The Loops tool will not list loops involving more than 32 intermediate variables.

For large models, there can be a surprisingly large number of loops.  Under these circumstances the Loops tool can take a long time to complete operations.  If more than 50 loops are found you will be asked if you want to see more than the first 50.
