Delay elements represent a type of element which imparts inertia and memory to a system by delaying (and optionally dispersing) continuous and discrete signals or flows. Like Stocks, at any point in time in a simulation, the outputs of Delays are computed based on the historical values of their inputs.

| Material Delay |
|
|
Delays (and optionally disperses) material flows. |
| Information Delay |
|
|
Delays (and optionally disperses) a signal. |
| Event Delay |
|
|
Delays a discrete event signal. Can also be used to simulate queues. |
| Discrete Change Delay |
|
|
Delays a discrete change signal. Can also be used to simulate queues. |
