@RISK: Stressing Each Input in Its Own Simulation

Stress Each Input runs one simulation per stressed variable; Stress All Inputs runs one combined stress simulation plus the baseline.

Title

Answer

Applies to: @RISK 6.x and Up, Professional and Industrial Editions

When you run Stress Analysis, you always get a baseline simulation where all inputs vary according to their distributions.

If you choose Stress Each Input in Its Own Simulation,

@RISK runs one additional simulation per stressed input.
In each of those simulations, one input is restricted to its stress range while all other inputs vary normally.
This lets you see the isolated impact of stressing each variable.

If you choose Stress All Inputs in a Single Simulation,

@RISK runs only one additional simulation.
In that simulation, all stressed inputs are restricted to their stress ranges at the same time, and results are compared to the baseline.
