Vensim Version 5 is now available. With Vensim 5 you can synthesize model structure and simulation behaviour - we call this feature SyntheSim for Synthesis of Simulations. Vensim allows you to see the results of simulations superimposed on the model diagrams and instantly updates these displays as you change model Constants and Lookups. You will see small graphs over all dynamic variables and sliders will be created for all the constants. As you move a slider the model will be simulated and the graphs automatically drawn.
In addition to making changes to Constants and Lookups SyntheSim makes it very convenient to cut feedback loops. Just pick a variable that you would like to change and click on it with the right mouse button. A dialog will open allowing you to override the behaviour of the variable.
Please refer to the main Vensim site for details.

Ventana Systems UK have this month signed a Joint Venture agreement with DDA Systems to deliver high quality simulation services to the construction industry. Central to this venture is the COPE (Construction Operations Performance Evaluator) simulation model.
COPE can be used to evaluate the impact of delay & disruption events on a construction project in order to assess the real impact on the progress of the works. As a planning tool, COPE can be used to understand better the likely effects of additional work, poor weather conditions, suspension of work, resource problems etc.
I want to find out more about the COPE solution.
