When you build a model, GoldSim automatically sequences the elements in the order that they must be computed. For example if A was a function of B, and B was a function of C, C would be sequenced first, followed by B, followed by A. This is referred to as the causality sequence. Although in this simple example, the sequence is obvious, for complex models with looping logic, the causality sequence may not be readily apparent.
In most cases, you need not to be concerned with how GoldSim sequences the elements. However, in some cases (e.g., when simulating systems that include discrete events and looping logic or systems that have competing Resource requirements), expert users may need to understand (and subsequently manipulate) the causality sequence.
