When getting started with GoldSim and/or when building simple models it is not necessary to understand the details of how GoldSim actually carries out its calculations. Hence, if you are new to GoldSim, you probably don’t need to be concerned with these details (and can skip the topics below).
However, to fully take advantage of all of the powerful features in GoldSim and use them in an appropriate manner, all users should eventually obtain a basic understanding of how GoldSim does these calculations. This knowledge not only provides you with a better understanding of the basic assumptions (and hence limitations) of GoldSim, but also allows you to design models that better represent the system you are trying to simulate.
