We describe a three-pass algorithm for improving the readability of Forrester
Diagram in system dynamics. The first pass converts Forrester Diagram to recurrent
hierarchy. The second pass sorts the vertices on each level, with the goal of minimizing
crossings. The third pass is a finite tuning of the layout that determines the horizontal
positions of vertices. An illustrative example is given to verify the result.
Keywords:
System Dynamics (SD), Forrester Diagram (FD), recurrent hierarchies, readability, algorithm.
