Finding Feedback Loops

When using the Function Of or Affects View for an element that is within a feedback loop, GoldSim will stop building a branch of the dependency tree as soon as an item is repeated (and it will mark this as a “loop”). 

For example, if Reservoir1 is a function of X, X is a function of Y, and Y is a function of Reservoir1, the Function Of View for Reservoir1 would look like this:

When using the Find function (Ctrl+F) in a Function Of or Affects view, one of the options is to search in Labels.  If this is selected, and you enter “loop”, GoldSim will find the next loop in the list (since it will find the word “loop” in the label for the element).
