• DRONE: A Tool for Automatically Running Simulation Recursions in Batch.
  Drone supports any simulator. It enables you to vary arbitrary parameters and re-run many simulations as the parameter(s) vary, while collecting results in various ways. Similar to CSIM's Iterator tool.
  

• DAKOTA: A more advanced tool for running simulation recursions, parameter estimation and optimization. Like DRONE above, but much more sophistocated and better documented. Similar to CSIM's Iterator tool, but much heavier duty.

A toolmaker succeeds as, and only as, the *users* of his tool succeed with his aid.
However shining the blade, however jeweled the hilt, however perfect the heft, a sword is tested only by cutting.
That swordsmith is successful whose clients die of old age.

- F. Brooks, "Grasping Reality from Illusion".
