WHAT SHOULD BE IN A VMODEL MODEL?
Your model can get pretty extensive, but it doesn't have to be.
At a bare minimum, your model should have
A model target--this is the reason you are making
the model--it is the thing you are trying to explain.
A model that shows the things in the system and how they relate to each other
Your model should include:
At least one process. Unless you have a process, nothing can happen or change in your model.
At least one basic object. Most models have more than one. You can make new described basic objects or reuse ones that you have made and put in the library.
All basic objects should be described with parameters.
=
One measurable in your model should be the thing in the model target that is changing.
At least one increases or decreases link. Unless you have an increases or decreases link, nothing is changing in your model. You can have other links as well that connect basic objects or pass on the influences from the increases and decreases.
