DATA EXTRACTION, SAVING SIMULATION RESULTS, AND GENERATING REPORTS

A simulation’s raw data can be very easily extracted using Risk Simulator’s Data Extraction routine. Both assumptions and forecasts can be extracted but a simulation must first be run. The extracted data can then be used for a variety of other analyses and the data can be extracted to different formats––for use in spreadsheets, databases, and other software products.

Procedure
  • Open or create a model, define assumptions and forecasts, and run the simulation.
  • Select Risk Simulator | Analytical Tools | Data Extraction.
  • Select the Assumptions and/or Forecasts from which you wish to extract the data and click OK.

The simulated data can be extracted to an Excel worksheet, a flat text file (for easy import into other software applications), or as *.risksim files (which can be reopened as Risk Simulator forecast charts at a later date). Finally, you can create a simulation report of all the assumptions and forecasts in the model by going to Risk Simulator | Analytical Tools | Create Report. This is an efficient way to gather all the simulation inputs and outputs in one concise report.
