idea Incorporating System Dynamics in ModelBuilder Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/modelbuilder-ideas/incorporating-system-dynamics/idi-p/950796 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It would be great if ESRI could incorporate system dynamic ideas into ArcGIS. Many of the programs used out there: Powersim, GoldSim, Vensim and Stella don't have a good way to interact geospatially without using an expensive SDK (offered only be a few). We are always reducing and analyzing data, then exporting to a .dbf, then into an excel file so the model can use the data. Or, coming up with a very complicated way (in KML) of displaying a linked output to something like Google Earth using network links. Since ESRI now has the ability to do time based analysis and simulations, it would be a good time to start looking at incorporating system dynamic methods into Model Builder and ArcToolbox.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:21:23 GMT GeoffKlise 2010-08-17T19:21:23Z Incorporating System Dynamics https://community.esri.com/t5/modelbuilder-ideas/incorporating-system-dynamics/idi-p/950796 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It would be great if ESRI could incorporate system dynamic ideas into ArcGIS.
