Exploratory Modeling and Analysis software

[Ifeanyi]

Hi Tom,
Please how does the EMA software work with vensim? How is the EMA approach to modeling different from doing several simulation runs within a model to generate insights? What are the benefits/uses of the EMA? Is it compatible with all versions of vensim including PLE? Thanks

The EMA workbench runs with the .dll, which is part of Vensim DSS.

The big difference is that it provides a lot of extra capabilities for generating inputs and analyzing large output datasets, even comparing multiple models. So, you can explore a model's parameter set more than is practical by hand.

As always, it's garbage in, garbage out, so a high-quality, robust model is a prerequisite.
