ProbWorks: ModelCenter is a suite of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis tools for use within Phoenix Integration's ModelCenter collaborative design framework. Each driver component has a particular benefit or utility to different classes of problems. The individual drivers in the current release are:

• Advanced Monte Carlo
• Discrete Probability Optimal Matching Distribution (DPOMD)
• Pareto Sensitivity
• Response Surface Equation (RSE) Generator

The probabilistic capabilities in the ProbWorks: ModelCenter suite are useful when trying to minimize the computational expense for Monte Carlo simulations, ranking the influence of input variables, and design space approximation through Response Surface Methodologies (RSM). A manual and several examples are included.

Each of the algorithms in the suite is coded as a Java component and can easily be dragged-and-dropped into a ModelCenter® project file from a local or remote Analysis Server®.
