A Simple Financial Module Example

This section provides a hands-on introduction to the Financial Module by walking through the steps necessary to build and edit a simple financial model. Although it is not necessary to do so, it would be helpful if you actually followed along and built and edited the simple model as it is discussed in the topics below.

In order to do so, however, you must be able to carry out the basic GoldSim actions discussed in the GoldSim Tutorial (e.g., adding elements, modifying simulation settings, running a model). Therefore, if you wish to build and edit the model described in the topics below, and you have not already taken the Tutorial, you should do so now. The GoldSim Tutorial can be accessed by clicking the Tutorial link on the GoldSim splash screen, or by selecting Help|Tutorial from the GoldSim main menu.
