Validation of the DICE modelling technique against existing methods and Speeding up execution of the DICE Simulation macro

Validation of the DICE modelling technique against existing methods and Speeding up execution of the DICE Simulation macro This deliverable is two parts 1 a report on the Internal Validation of the DICE Simulation model against industry standard models It will consist of rebuilding existing models of standard type using DICE simulation and comparing ICER results Comparison will also focus on technical aspects including ease of model construction file size run time and ease of modification 2 an enhanced ready to use DICE Simulation Model It will be based around a number of technical fixes of the existing Beta prototype such as avoidance of repeated reading from and writing to worksheet the carrying out calculations in memory improving the placeholding of results in memory until simulation is complete incorporating faster calculation algorithms as well as creation of standard templates for commonly encountered modelling problems
