List of features for all Studio 8 Modeling tools:
- NEW: New possibilities for ranges make working with arrays easier;
- ENTERPRISE: Dynamic ranges allows the end user to add elements to an array
- Element names can be shared among enumeration ranges
- Use free-text element names in enumeration ranges, which is also available for Database datasets
- RUNRANGE gives a dimension that corresponds to all runs
- PIVOTSUM to sum across dynamic dimensions
- NEW: Four new Statistical functions, for Normal and Triangular distributions
- NEW: Three new functions that return ranges for the time series of corresponding Series Variables
- NEW: Support for shortcuts (formerly snapshots) to variables not present in the same diagram
- Studio 9 takes advantage of multi-core processing to run simulations
- Three new window, Precedents and Dependents List and Value Inspector, which let you analyze and edit values of a selected variable
- Studio 9 is now compatible with Windows 7
- ENTERPRISE & EXPERT: New actions for the Action button to build advanced sequences of commands and to write stream-lined reports to Excel
- Series variables and start-up variables with special functions to support them.
- New functions; arrayed version of Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return
- Extension of XLDATA function that allows you to read text strings into integer variables
- With the XLDATA function you may now use different Sheets as dimension of a range to read 3-dimensional data in one operation.

Feature Packs Studio 7
Feature packs are available free of charge for users holding a valid Support and Upgrade Agreement (SUA).
List of features for Studio 7 editions:
- For Enterprise users: Monitor the performance of your model to improve its simulation speed. Also featuring the Database Dataset allowing the user to collect data from and write back to any relational database, e.g. Microsoft Access and SQL Server, Oracle.
- For Enterprise and Expert users: Action button that gives access to executing commands, as well as hyperlinks. The Dataset has been improved with several major spreadsheet enhancements!
- For all users: Funtion Indicators give instant information when looking at your model diagrams. The Scatter Graph has been improved with several enhancements!
Available Features Packs
The downloads above will upgrade your current version of Studio 7 or Studio 7 SDK with the latest available feature pack for Studio 7.
- Supports models created in Studio 9 where Feature Pack 3 features have been enabled. These models typically make use of one or more of the new features: dynamic ranges, shared range element names, free-text enumeration ranges, and the functions NORMDIST, NORMINV, TRIANGULARDIST, or TRIANGULARINV.
- The new ControllableRanges property of a Simulation object gives you a ControllableRanges collection that can be used to control the dynamic ranges of a simulation project. The controllable ranges are the dynamic ranges that can be controlled by end users when running simulations in Powersim Studio through action buttons with Manage Dynamic Range actions (dynamic free-text enumerations) and through controls with First and Last parameters (dynamic numerical subranges).
- The new Precedents and Dependents properties of a ModelVariable object give you the precedents and dependents of the variable in a ModelVariableDependencies collection. The precedents are the variables being used to define the variable, while the dependents are the variables defined by the variable.
- New ModelVariable properties: IsPermanent, IsReservoir, and TransferDirection.
- New Dimensions properties: IsDynamic and IsResolved.
- New Dimension properties: IsDynamic and IsResolved
