RiskSim for Monte Carlo Simulation


     
  RiskSim provides random number generator functions as inputs for your model, automates Monte Carlo simulation, and creates charts.

Your spreadsheet model may include various uncontrollable uncertainties as input assumptions (e.g., demand for a new product, uncertain variable cost of production, competitor reaction), and you can use simulation to determine the uncertainty associated with the model's output (e.g., annual profit).

RiskSim automates the simulation by trying thousands of what-ifs consistent with your assessment of the uncertainties.

Benefits: * Save time by using RiskSim to automate Monte Carlo simulation.
* Make informed decisions explicitly accounting for uncertainty.
* Use RiskSim's charts to explain your analysis to colleagues.
* Use Excel's formatting commands to customize RiskSim's charts.
* Easily use the single-file RiskSim add-in with no complicated installation; simply open RiskSim.xla
whenever and wherever you need it.
 
To use RiskSim, you
   (1)  create a spreadsheet model
   (2) optionally use SensIt to identify critical inputs
   (3) enter one of RiskSim's fourteen random number generator functions in each input cell of your model
   (4) choose Tools | Risk Simulation  (Excel 2003 & 2011) or Add-Ins | Risk Simulation (Excel 2007, 2010, & 2013)
   (5) specify the model output cell and the number of what-if trials (maximum 32,000)
   (6) interpret RiskSim's histogram and cumulative distribution charts.
