Risk Solver Platform
Your Best Choice for Monte Carlo Simulation,
Simulation Optimization and Stochastic Optimization in Excel
Optimization helps you make better decisions when you have the data and Monte Carlo simulation helps you understand the possible outcomes when you don't. Risk Solver Platform gives you the leading tools to do each individually as well as the ability to combine these analytic methods, easily, right inside Excel, so you can make better choices for decisions you do control taking into account the range of potential outcomes for factors you don’t.
You simply create a model in Excel that includes:
- Decision variables for decisions you do control, just as in a conventional optimization model
- Uncertain variables for factors you don’t control, just as in a Monte Carlo simulation model
- An objective to maximize or minimize, that may depend on decision and uncertain variables
- Constraints to satisfy, that may also depend on decision and uncertain variables
Don't worry if any of the above is new to you. Our intuitive user interface, helpful guides and videos, and example models will get you started right.
Once a model is set up, Risk Solver Platform will search through thousands of ways to allocate resources and, for each one, through thousands of possible future outcomes, and seek the best set of choices. The solution and supporting analytics give you a much better picture of the decisions you should make and how to effectively manage risk.

Speeds Up To 100x Faster than Alternative Excel-based Simulation Tools
- Calculates only those cells that matter for the simulation, rather than recalculating every cell in the worksheet for every trial regardless of relevance to the trial
- Takes full advantage of all available multi-core processors for the fastest processing speeds without having to launch multiple instances of Excel
- So fast that you can run true interactive simulation for powerful what-if analysis simply not practical with competing alternatives
Simply hover the mouse over a cell to see a distribution instantly.
Then click on the cell, or the pop-up chart, and see the full results.
