DYNAMO

DYNAMO (DYNAmic MOdels) is a simulation language and accompanying graphical notation developed within the system dynamics analytical framework.

It was originally for industrial dynamics but was soon extended to other applications, including population and resource studies and urban planning.DYNAMO was initially developed under the direction of Jay Wright Forrester in the late 1950s, by Dr. Phyllis Fox, Alexander L.

Pugh III, Grace Duren, and others at the M.I.T. Computation Center.DYNAMO was used for the system dynamics simulations of global resource depletion reported in the Club of Rome’s Limits to Growth, but has since fallen into disuse.
