Assista Assista, the Analytica's AI assistant is new to Analytica 6.5. It offers a conversational interface that answers questions about Analytica, about your model, and can even help you build your model and write Analytica expressions. It can make your modeling process much faster and more convenient. Like many tools using Large Language Models (LLMs) it can be amazingly helpful, but it isn't 100% reliable. So you still need to apply your human intelligence! You can start it from the new icon in the toolbar. Learn more at Assista.	Database library: A library of functions to make it easy to create, read, update, examine and delete database tables, without having to write SQL.
	Themes Library: Use the Themes Library to quickly update your diagram and graph styles with some new and updated preset themes!
	Weibull estimation library: This library includes functions for estimating Weibull distributions for lifespan or time to failure from data, and to obtain mean, median, and variance, and percentiles of a Weibull from its shape (k) and scale (lamda) parameters (and vice versa).

-Welcome to the Analytica Wiki!  It is a shared resource, to be created by and for the entire community of Analytica users. For now, it offers introductions to the new features of Analytica 4.0 for the use of beta testers.  Over time, it will grow to include a great deal more, including FAQs, tips, examples, shared libraries, and more detailed reference material.

-As a wiki, you can edit and add to it, as well as read it -- like Wikipedia. We at Lumina wrote the initial content, and we will be improving and extending it regularly. But, we invite beta testers (and, later, all licensed Analytica users) also to contribute. If you are a licensed Analytica user and don't have access permission, please email info@lumina.com to get a password.
