GoldSim is a powerful and flexible platform for visualizing
and dynamically simulating nearly any kind of physical, financial or
organizational system. You build a model in an intuitive manner by literally
drawing a picture (an influence diagram) of your system. In a sense, GoldSim is
like a "visual spreadsheet" that allows you to graphically create and manipulate
data and equations. GoldSim moves beyond spreadsheets, however, by making it
much easier for you to evaluate how systems evolve over time, and predict their
future behavior.
[GoldSim Pro]
GoldSim Pro is the commercial version of GoldSim (Research and
Academic versions are also available).
It is a powerful and flexible platform for visualizing and dynamically
simulating complex systems in engineering, science and business. You build a

allows you to graphically create and manipulate data and equations. GoldSim
moves beyond spreadsheets, however, by making it much easier for you to evaluate
how systems evolve over time, and predict their future behavior.
[Features]
GoldSim helps you understand complex systems and make better decisions. Some of
GoldSim’s key features that make this feasible include the ability to:
- Quantitatively address the inherent variability and uncertainty that is
present in real-world systems (using Monte Carlo simulation).
- Superimpose the occurrence and consequences of discrete events onto
continuously varying systems.
- Build top-down models using hierarchical containers that facilitate the
simulation of large, complex systems while keeping them easy to understand and
navigate.
- Dynamically link external programs or spreadsheets directly into your
GoldSim model.
- Directly exchange data between any ODBC-compliant database and your
GoldSim model.
- Insert graphics, notes and hyperlinks (to documents, websites, and
presentations) in order clearly explain your model to diverse audiences.
- Create custom designed graphical interfaces (called dashboards) to
explain and demonstrate your models using the GoldSim Dashboard Authoring
Module.
- Optimize your dynamic simulation models by finding the values of
decision variables that produce the optimal results.
- Carry out sensitivity analyses (e.g., tornado charts, statistical
measures) to identify the parameters that have the most impact on your model.
- Save your models as player files that anyone can view and run using
GoldSim Player (a free download).
- Utilize powerful extension modules (e.g., for financial modeling,
reliability analysis, mass transport modeling) to address problems that can't be
adequately represented using simple simulation approaches.
