Delay functions in Anylogic System Dynamics

Question

What function in AnyLogic-System Dynamics is equivalent to the Delay3 function in Vensim? The Delay3 function in Vensim is used for material delay (e.g. when goods are delayed by 3 days). The syntax in Vensim is: Delay3(input, delayTime).

I tried using functions smooth and Delay but I'm not sure if that is correct.

Answer 1

Delay3 doesn't correspond to a 3 days delay, instead it corresponds to a third order exponential delay.

Remember you can construct yourself using stock and flows a delay of any order you want, it's a good exercise to understand the differences.

The equivalent function in AnyLogic is delay3 You can find it in the help documentation: delay3
