Introductory Videos

 


Learning Basic GoldSim Elements

Container

Inputs

 

Stocks

  • The Basics of the Integrator Element

    Demonstrates the basic setup of the integrator element by solving a classic calculus problem. Also includes the usage of the interrupt element. 4:50

 

Functions

 
 
 
 
 
 

Events

 

  • Using the Discrete Change Element

    This video shows two different ways to use the Discrete Change Element. You can induce instantaneous changes in stock elements by adding specified values or replacing the current value of stock elements.  5:03

 
  • Using the Status Element

    This video shows how processes can be triggered on or off during a simulation using the versatile status element; 10:00

 
  • Basic Event Triggers

    The event triggering dialog is common to many GoldSim elements. This video discusses basic options for triggering events; 8:02

  • Advanced Event Triggers

    This video discusses advanced options for the event triggering dialog common to many GoldSim elements 6:30

Delays

  • Using the Information Delay Element

    This video shows a number of applications of information delays, including delays in transmission of information, calculation of moving averages, and delays with dispersion.  8:20

 

  • The Basics of the Material Delay Element 1

    The Material Delay element has a complex property dialog, but can be quite useful in your modeling.   This element describes the different inputs, units and outputs of the Material Delay element using a simple example. 4:52

  • The Basics of the Material Delay Element 2

    (Continues from the previous video). This video explains the initial outflow and dispersion options of the Material Delay element. 3:34

Results

  • Time History Result Element Part 1

    This video covers graphing options in time history result elements.  It also discusses probability histories and screening realizations. 8:30

  • Time History Result Element Part 2 

    (Continues from the previous video). This video explains options for viewing tables of results in time history result elements. 3:34

  • Time History Result Element Part 3 

    (Continues from the previous video). This video discusses exporting from GoldSim to spreadsheets or text files via time history result elements. 10:20

 

Learning Basic Concepts

  • Using Run Properties in Simulations

    This introductory video explains all of the run properties available in GoldSim models. Run properties relate to the simulation clock and the realization being executed. 10:30
