Stocks elements are elements which impart inertia and memory to a system. These kinds of elements are responsible for internally generating the dynamic behavior of a system. At any point in time in a simulation, the outputs of stock elements are computed based on the historical values of their inputs. Mathematically, stocks represent time integrals.
