Abstract
To begin our exploration of modeling with STELLA we first develop a basic model of the dynamics of a population—let’s say of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). In building the model, we will utilize all four of the graphical tools for programming in STELLA. The CD has a demo of the software. The appendix also describes how to install the STELLA software and models of the book. Follow these instructions before you proceed. After installation, open the STELLA software. On the screen appears a window within which you can develop your model. If you instead wish to open an already existing model, you need to close the new model that you have created upon opening STELLA. Go to the “File” pull-down menu, select “Close Model,” then select “Open Model” and navigate to the model of your choice.
The sea never changes and its works, for all The talk of men, are wrapped in mystery. Joseph Conrad, from Typhoon
