TUDelft Exploratory Modeling and Analysis Workbench
ApplicationsSee: http://simulation.tbm.tudelft.nl/ema-workbench/contents.html “Exploratory Modeling and Analysis (EMA) is a research methodology that uses computational experiments to analyze complex and uncertain systems (Bankes, 1993).That is, exploratory modeling aims at offering computational decision support for decision making under deep uncertainty and Robust … Continue reading
Positive Feedback, Bob Walker
ApplicationsBob Walker discovered yet another use for Vensim – naming his boat. He created the graphic with the name and feedback loop and then had the sign company transfer that to the back of his new boat. The result floats … Continue reading
Tracking Team Skills, Peter Addor
ApplicationsIn order to track the ability of a team to do its work it is necessary to know both how much skill the team has built up as a team and what the experience levels of the individual team members … Continue reading
Experimental Aerodynamics, Lucas Laroche, Laroche Consulting
ApplicationsIn order to measure performance of aircraft wings it is necessary to have both a physical model of the wing and the experimental results showing wing performance. Vensim’s optimization and data handling capabilities were used to measure the lift to … Continue reading
LNG Plant Design, Scott Johnson, BP
ApplicationsFor analytic work in support of capital investment decisions the ultimate measure of success is not always clear. Plants and distribution systems that perform as expected in terms of throughput and uptime do validate the results of technical components of … Continue reading

C-ROADS and C-LEARN, Climate Interactive
ApplicationsC-ROADS and C-LEARN are interactive, accessible computer simulations that help people visualize the long-term climate impacts of decisions being undertaken today. By making it easy to add up country emissions targets and to project their implications for the “bathtub dynamics” … Continue reading
