| GoldSim | Proprietary, commercial | C++ | 2019 | Differs from traditional system dynamics approaches in that 1) it puts much greater emphasis on probabilistic simulation techniques to support representation of uncertain and/or stochastic systems; and 2) it provides a wide variety of specialized model objects (beyond stocks, flows and converters) in order to make models less abstract (and hence more transparent) and help represent processes and events that cannot easily be represented using a traditional system dynamics approach. These differences are due to the fact that GoldSim is primarily used for engineering and scientific applications where quantitative probabilistic predictions of future performance are required. |

Tools for Sensitivity Analysis, Optimization and Statistical Analysis are parts of StochSD. In particular, StochSD includes features for stochastic modelling and post analysis of multiple simulations followed by presentation of the results in statistical form. StochSD is available as Web-application and offline for Windows, Mac and Linux. |
