The free edition of Analytica includes these key Analytica features:
intuitive visual modeling with influence diagrams
the convenience and power of Intelligent Arrays
managing risk and uncertainty with fast Monte Carlo
sharing models on the web with the Analytica Cloud Platform (ACP)
Free Analytica has no time limit. The only constraint is it won’t let you create more than 100 variables or other objects. But your model can be quite substantial since each variable can be a multidimensional array.
