In this paper an Expert Aid for System Dynamics Modelling (EASDM) is introduced, a user friendly, interactive software tool which helps users unfamiliar with System Dynamics and computers, to construct their models from the formulation to the simulation. The most important feature that distinguishes this aid from its closest predecessor (ASDM) is the incorporation of an expert system capable of carrying out the conversion from the causal diagram to the Forrester schematics in a semiautomatic way. This is possible because, within the context of the causal diagram, there is an implicit set of "rules" which allows the classification of quantities. EASDM has been programmed in PROLOG and Pascal for personal computers with the MS-DOS operating system.
