Status of Monte Carlo simulation

September 6, 2015 Q: Status of Monte Carlo simulation When I click the Calculate button to run the Monte Carlo simulation, I no longer see a status as in previous versions. Just downloaded version 6.1 to check out the new features. RiskyProject seems to be calculating, as I can see results in the Analysis view, but there is no progress bar.

Especially with version 6.1 where we have added multiprocessing if you have a relatively new computer, depending upon the project data (number of tasks, resources, costs, risks etc.) time to run the project schedule and cost risk analysis has been reduced from 10-30 times. In the cases of smaller project (<1000 activities) with no or small numbers of resources and risks the simulation occurs so quickly now that the progress bar does not appear. This is currently an undocumented feature dubbed “Instant Monte Carlo”. http://www.intaver.com/IntaverFrm/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1109
