including distributions (time based )

[Srirama Bhamidipati]

Hi 

I have some time based distributions of certain external factors that will effect the agents. i would like to know what is best way to bring them into the model. As an array list may be ?? please see attachment. Also I have the time distributions do not match (smaller time step) compared to my model time step. I will have to make them same time step I guess. But importantly what is the best way to bring them into the model.  The time based events will be triggered by a certain variable in the model, for simplicity lets say they are triggered by time step.

regards,

Srirama

Hi Srirama,

I am not sure of what is the difficulty here, but if you can define a value of your external factor for each simulation step (and save it in a file), it is quite easy to manage it.

See the attached model.

Cheers,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Thanks. So because you have just one column in your data and your bring the csv as temperature , the name of the variable becomes temperature automatically ?

thanks.

In GAMA, a file is a container, so you can use it as one (list or matrix depending on the type of file).

Here, I have just one column, so I use it as a list, if there were several columns, I would have used it as a matrix (and I would have used the operator csv_file instead of file to read it).
