Extendsim technology: Scenario management

Simulation models are typically built to obtain an understanding of the system dynamics and compare alternatives. ExtendSim's Scenario Manager provides an easy interface to evaluate different model configurations and explore the effects of model parameters. Scenario management provides for a systematic, controlled approach to the investigation of a system or process. Among other things, it can be used for problem solving (“what are the main factors contributing to the problem”), parameter design (“how well does the system/process perform given specified factors”), and robustness studies (“what is the best configuration of factor values to maximize/minimize variations in response”). Thus it has a very broad application across all disciplines.
