Let’s Simulate
pSimulate the SFD model
n What behavior pattern do you observe? n What is the stable population size? n When does population reach stability? n When is the ‘inflection point’?
p Tips: Make Custom Graphs in Vensim p Click Control Panel à Graph
n Rate-Level graph (Double click to view) n Eff_Brate graph (Double click to view)
p What happens when P0 = 2000?

Let’s Simulate Deaths
p Incorporate Deaths in your SFD model
n Fractional death rate, d = 0.07 n Death Rate = d.P
p Simulate the SFD model
n What behavior pattern do you observe? n What is the stable population size? n When does population reach stability? n When is the ‘inflection point’?
p Model NetRate = Births - Deaths p In Vensim, use Control Panel à Graph to
create Rate-Level graph

More limiting factors
p Suppose other limiting factors, such as
starvation, affects death rate non-linearly.
p What will be expected behavior of system? p Plot the expected Rate-Level graph p How can we expect Fractional Rates to
change with the Population/Capacity ratio?

Let’s update model and Simulate
p Update your SFD model
n Create new variable effective-fractional-death-rate n Fractional death rate, d = 0.07 n Death Rate = d.(P/C).P
p Simulate the SFD model
n What behavior pattern do you observe? n What is the stable population size? n When does population reach stability? n When is the ‘inflection point’?

S-Shaped Growth
p The behavior we disucssed is known as S-
Shaped growth
p S-shaped pattern exhibited by
n Population trends of many animals & plants n Learning curves n Diffusion of news, riots, epidemics, & rumors n Growth of new products, & other socio-
economic activities
