These reference pages will offer detailed technical references and tips on effective use beyond the Analytica User Guide. At present, it is mostly a shell, with only a few pages filled out.

User-Interface Reference

Preferences

Describes the Preferences dialog options. Most of these preferences are stored with the model. Also see Configuring Personalized Defaults for configuring your own personal preferences.

Graphing Results

Menus, Keyboard, Toolbar

Modeling Reference

Expression Syntax

Array Abstraction

Function Reference

The Analytica Wiki documents functions that are built into Analytica, functions in the Analytica Libraries, and functions in contributed libraries.

Creating User-Defined Functions

Scripting Guide

Analytica contains a powerful scripting language for retrieving and modifying information contained in Analytica models. The scripting language is fully accessible from within Analytica (through the use of Analytica’s Typescript Window or by using the Command and Send properties of the CAEngine interface of the Analytica Decision Engine (ADE).

System Variables

Typescript Commands

Analytica Attributes
