In my free time, I work on a risk analysis application. I have already completed maths and simulations, but I'm stuck in the user interface design. I want my application to be as easy to use for Excel users as possible, but I do not want to make it an Excel add-in, because Excel takes a long time to load add-ons. Therefore, I am going to use the old and venerable MFC.
I want to do this easily in my application:
Tasks of modeling:
- Determination of probability and uncertainty distribution
- Determining the mathematical relationship between variables
- Separating uncertainty from variability (second-order risk modeling)
- Risk Model Validation
- What-if analysis (sensitivity)
Data manipulation / mapping tasks:
- Import / export data from / to Excel and database
- Display nice graphs to the user
Do you know any recommendations that I could take into account when designing the user interface? The only examples that I know, LINGO and Rockwell Arena , are actually examples of what NOT to do. Perhaps I will need to include a simple scripting language in the system, but in this case it will be an option for advanced users, and not for everyone.
