What software has been used to develop Shared Vision Planning models?
A. IWR has relied mostly on STELLA® simulation software combined with Microsoft Excel for data inputs and outputs, and more recently we have used Microsoft Excel® for simulation as well as input-output. Other software packages can be used. Our colleagues at Sandia National Lab use PowerSim® which offers capabilities similar to STELLA®. Our colleagues at Hyrologics use OASIS® in a collaborative setting, and IWR is investigating the use of software packages specific to water that could also be used (e.g. HEC-ResSim®).
