Hi Tim, You explained about segmenting solutions in great detail. Thanks for the great review of step by step guides on how to work on complex segments. However, often when I use system dynamics in Economic analysis, there are a few variables of particular segment structure which affects other stocks or flows of other segments. Is there any special way to treat this?

Take a case with a Large-customers segment and a Small-customers segment - but some Large customers become small each period and some Small customer become large. If the two segments are in the same model, you simply have a flow from the Large Stock to the Small and a flow from the Small stock to the large. If using sub-models , though ... the Large-customers sub-model will include an out flow of Large-customers lost to Small in the Parent model create a copy of this item [can simply be a Variable] which calls its values from the Large-customer sub-model the Small-customers sub-model will include an in flow of Small-customers added from Large , which calls its values from the item you added in the Parent model The same principle applies for any item found in one segment sub-model that you want to use in another segment
