|Differs from traditional system dynamics approaches in that 1) it puts much greater emphasis on probabilistic simulation techniques to support representation of uncertain and/or stochastic systems; and 2) it provides a wide variety of specialized model objects (beyond stocks, flows and converters) in order to make models less abstract (and hence more transparent) and help represent processes and events that cannot easily be represented using a traditional system dynamics approach. These differences are due to the fact that GoldSim is primarily used for engineering and scientific applications where quantitative probabilistic predictions of future performance are required.

|iMODELER
|Proprietary, commercial
|Java
|2022
|Web-based using bionic concepts of changing perspectives to model collaboratively very large models and to directly transform a causal loop diagram into a system dynamics model without explicit stocks and flows or a change of look. Offering factors for processes, projects and resources to reveal dynamic constraints according to the [[Theory of constraints|theory of constraints (ToC)]]. It also features Monte Carlo simulations and an algorithm for operations research to identify the optimal set of parameters to maximise a goal. Next to system dynamics it also offers qualitative modeling with a weighting of connections and analyses through matrices comparable to [[fuzzy cognitive map]]s (FCM).
