GoldSim
The Premier Monte Carlo Simulation Software.
Overview
GoldSim is a Monte Carlo simulation software used for dynamically modeling complex systems. It supports decision-making and risk analysis by simulating future performance while quantitatively representing uncertainty. GoldSim is widely used for environmental and engineering risk analysis, water resource management, and long-term performance assessment of complex systems.
✨ Key Features
- Dynamic, Probabilistic (Monte Carlo) Simulation
- Hybrid simulation (continuous and discrete events)
- Graphical, hierarchical modeling interface (influence diagrams)
- Scenario analysis and optimization
- Sensitivity analysis
- Customizable dashboards
- Specialized modules for reliability, contaminant transport, and financial modeling
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Strong focus on probabilistic, Monte Carlo simulation for risk analysis
- Powerful capabilities for modeling long-term, dynamic systems
- Extensive use and reputation in environmental and engineering fields
Unique Value: Provides a robust framework for quantitatively representing uncertainty and making better decisions in complex, unpredictable systems.
