Abstract

In the previous chapter we frequently used stocks to represent state variables. The corresponding STELLA II symbol is the Reservoir with inflow and outflow at each DT. In reality, many stocks, however, receive inflows and result in outflows only at particular periods of time, depending on a “schedule” that underlies the processes of the respective system. The scheduling of inflows into, and outflows from, stocks can be easily modeled by using the other versions of stocks offered in STELLA II: Conveyor, Queue, and Oven.
