Solver tutorials

Learn to use optimization for resource allocation, and Monte Carlo simulation for risk analysis of your model.


 

Products from Frontline Systems

Products overview

We offer a comprehensive suite of tools for allocating resources via optimization, analyzing risk via Monte Carlo simulation, and integrating both to find robust optimal decisions.  Here's a product overview if your main focus is optimization:

Optimization Software from Frontline Systems

All our Excel products are upward compatible from the Solver in Excel; see a detailed comparison.  Here's a product overview if your main focus is simulation:

Simulation Software from Frontline Systems

For building models inside Excel, Risk Solver Platform is our "super-product" for both optimization and simulation, offering far more than any competitive product.  But if RSP is more than you need right now, you can start with one of its subsets, and upgrade easily later to gain more power and flexibility; see a detailed comparison.

For building models outside Excel in a programming language, Solver Platform SDK is our comprehensive tool for both optimization and simulation; it includes everything except Risk Solver Platform's automatic model analysis, transformation, automatic differentiation, and SOCP Barrier and Interval Global Solver Engines.

What's a Platform?  Our eight optional large-scale Solver Engines "plug in" to any of our Platform products: Risk Solver Platform, Premium Solver Platform, and Solver Platform SDK.  In contrast, Risk Solver, Premium Solver, and Risk Solver Premium aren't upgradeable with large-scale Solver Engines; but you can upgrade from any of them to Risk Solver Platform, with full compatibility for your models and macros.
