When you run run a simulation, Ventity initializes all entities as instructed in the active Input Data set. It then performs the following calculations:

 

1.Evaluate triggers and perform any triggered Start-of-Period actions.

2.Calculate all flows and apply them to update all stocks.

3.Record all stock and flow values for the period for charts and tables

4.Evaluate triggers and perform any triggered End-of-Period actions.

5.Repeat from step 1, for each time slice until Final Time is reached.

 

Note that End-of-Period actions will not be evident in entity counts or other calculations until the next period.
