CONSIDEO MODELER Changelog

What's new in CONSIDEO MODELER 7.5.6

Dec 12, 2012
  • Huge improvements on simulation speed

New in CONSIDEO MODELER 7.5 (Jul 28, 2011)

  • automatic quantification of qualitative models (saves you valuable time)
  • stepwise simulation (for business games and more excitement with presenting scenarios)
  • valuebefore()-function (so there are no restrictions due to system dynamics anymore)
  • delay0()-function (variable delays e.g. to control the speed of processes)
  • three additional modi for the insight-matrix (bridging qualitative and quantitative modeling)
  • sensitivity analysis (one of the new modi to use the insight matrix also for quantitative models)
  • several bug fixes and performance improvements

New in CONSIDEO MODELER 7.0 (Dec 29, 2010)

  • the Insight Matrix now allows to choose to view the short-, mid- or long-term impact of factors
  • the range() function allows to identify an optimal set of parameters for optimal solutions within quantitative models (incl. PROCESS MODELER models)
  • a new cockpit element: Cross Impact Diagram - to look at dependencies between the values of two different factors
  • an improved pulse() function together with the new documentation of most functions in our MODELER forum
  • now a simulation can be run without a completely quantified model
  • you can quickly switch between Quantitative and Simulate without running the simulation again

New in CONSIDEO MODELER 6.5.3 (Oct 4, 2010)

  • Decisve improvements of qualitative analysis (identification of risks and levers of complex situations with the insight-matrix)
  • New features simulation cockpit

New in CONSIDEO MODELER 6.5 (Aug 27, 2010)

  • several bug fixes
  • decisive improvements of the Insight-Matrix (more precise, faster, also for very large models and with a chooser to exclude factors...)
  • a lot more short-keys
  • a mighty 0-interpolator
  • a multiple factor table manipulator
  • a way to print and save a submodel or factor overview from the Model Explorer

New in CONSIDEO MODELER 6.0.3 (Apr 26, 2010)

  • LAP MODELER is now named BI MODELER, the SAP BW interface is optimized
  • several major bug fixes
  • Spanish Version
  • Histograms have improved tooltip and a flexible number of bars
  • Zoom of diagrams will now be saved
  • Interpolators within diagrams can be set individually
  • Frozen diagrams are now indicated by a grey background

New in CONSIDEO MODELER 6.0.2 (Feb 23, 2010)

  • Export to Excel
  • Improved Monte Carlo Simulation (scenarios on the likelihood of developments)
  • Improved qualitative analysis (identification of risks and levers of complex situations with the insight-matrix)

New in CONSIDEO MODELER 6.0.1 (Feb 12, 2010)

  • New cockpit elements
  • Monte Carlo Simulation (scenarios on the likelihood of developments)
  • Improved qualitative analysis (identification of risks and levers of complex situations within minutes)

New in CONSIDEO MODELER 6.0 (Dec 22, 2009)

  • Version 6.0 of the CONSIDEO MODELER adds a major feature to quantitative modeling: Monte Carlo Simulation. This may sound a bit technically but with the MODELER it just means that you have a very easy way to foresee the likelihoods of developments depending on the likelihoods of the values of any number of factors within our models. Until now you had to decide for each scenario what value each of the factors should have. Now you can assume the likelihoods of values of a certain range of values and the MODELER calculates with as many scenarios you want the possible outcomes of the model. You see the most likely outcome and the best and worst cases and their likelihoods. This, of course, is of use within the MODELER as well as the OLAP MODELER and the PROCESS MODELER.
  • We are sure that if you do any quantitative modeling of future developments, of risks, of strategies, of projects and processes you will need this great feature. Already with just a few factors in your model that you cannot be sure what value they will have in reality, the number of possible outcomes might become astronomically high. With Monte-Carlo you can easily approximate the most likely developments. In other words: Whenever your model is based on assumptions you should consider the use of the Monte Carlo feature.
  • Update: Several, major bugfixes
  • Improved Cause- and Use-Trees
  • Images and textfields to be inserted into the Simulation Cockpit
  • Flow units are set automatically

New in CONSIDEO MODELER 5.0 (Apr 30, 2009)

  • To ease the use of the MODELER for beginners we have renamed the work areas to 'Describe', 'Creative', 'Qualitative', 'Quantitative' and 'Simulate' with new description texts.
  • The work area 'Creative' for creative meta planning now allows to use colors and to vary the size of the factors.
  • The size of factors is now automatically set. That saves up to 30 percent of modeling time.
  • The impact matrix now allows to compare the impact of input values, e.g. planned measures, by considering the loops they trigger.
  • The impact matrix now allows to navigate directly to other factor's impact matrixes.
  • The four sectors of the impact matrix now can be named individually to make concrete the meaning of one's analysis of the short and longterm impact of factors.
  • There is a new print manager that allows to manage the printing of hundreds of factors of caustress and large models over any number of pages of any paper size.
  • With the new version we also provide a new manual.
  • For the first time there's a Linux installer.
  • Companies and Universities can purchase a concurrent user license for a use without installation.
  • Finally there are several improvements on stability and usability.
