The relationship between system dynamics (SD) .and other research areas is a subject of universal interest. Attention of the paper is to the possible links between SD and GERT (short for Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique). A new simulating design for a class of GERT network is proposed and the equivalence of GERT networks to SD models established, thus a new solution to the network obtained. According to the approach, a GERT network is converted into a SD model in which levels are used to model the random variables associated with the network, such as the expected time to realize a node and the probability that it is realized. The resulting basic model can be used for calculations of any parameter of interest in the analysis of GERT networks. Its advantages and implications are discussed.
