Components
 Special version of a locked Container
 Contains encapsulated logic
 Data exchange must use element interface (userdefined inputs/outputs)
 Can resemble look and feel of a GoldSim element
 Can be saved as .gsc file
 Can be added to Insert Element menu
 One or many instances of the Component can be
added to the same model
 All instances can automatically be updated when
new version of the component becomes available

Scenarios
 New Scenario Element
 Scenario Management:
– High-level scenario management to carry out
several simulations representing different
scenarios
– Display results of multiple scenario runs in
combined charts and tables
GoldSim Technology Group LLC, 2007
Slide 21
Script Functions and Element
 Executes embedded VBScript or Jscript
using Microsoft Windows Scripting Engine
 User defines element interface (inputs and
outputs), which can be accessed within the
script as variables.
 Can be used when simple, custom coding is
required
 Function Example:
Function ToCelcius(fFahrenheit)
ToCelcius = (fFahrenheit – 32) 5 / 9
End Function

Slide 22
Resources





Resources are continuous or discrete scalar non-negative
quantities (electric current, #pumps).
Different types or pools of resources can exist in a model. The
current available amount of a resource will be represented by a
new Reservoir-like Resource element.
Resource consumption is either instantaneous or gradual.
Discretely-acquired resources may be ‘borrowed’ and returned
when the action is completed, e.g. a piece of equipment or an
operator.
A resource requirement in a trigger would, if necessary, wait for
the resource to be available before starting the triggered action.

Strategic Planning Module






Enables GoldSim to model and simulate projects
Enhanced conditional containers capable to represent
project tasks
Adds support for Work Breakdown Structure
Generating, capturing, and reporting on costs (and
revenues)
Simulating the availability of, competition for, and
management of resources
Post-simulation results analysis
