There are many ways to combine Expert Systems and System Dynamics. In a short overview the paper will show useful basic combinations. As an experimental project BAMBOO will be introduced. It is primarily designed to test the usefulness of descriptive knowledge processing techniques for building and using System Dynamics Models. BAMBOO holds expertise of all SD-objects and structures, their possible combinations and the behavior they cause. BAMBOO generates the necessary knowledge about the user model by a system driven dialog. On the basis of this knowledge it shows the conclusions the model implies. For instance, BAMBOO determines which variables are sensitive and how the model will propably respond during the simulation.
