RC Monte Carlo 2024

RC Monte Carlo is an Excel application that automates the design of Monte Carlo simulations. The user generates the random numbers using automated dialog boxes and then completes the reconstruction by entering accident reconstruction formulas into Excel. Statistical results including charts are provided at the click of one button!

What's New in RCM 2024?

  • Dynamic random numbers.
  • Momentum spreadsheet template.
  • Code improvements speed up the generation of static random numbers.

Watch this short video to see what is new in RC Monte Carlo 2024.

Features Include:

  • Random number generator including normal and continuous uniform distributions. RC Monte Carlo 2024 allows the option of static random numbers or dynamic random numbers (dynamic random numbers are entered as a formula in each cell instead of a permanent number). Dynamic random numbers permit the user to demonstrate to a judge, jury or attorney that the Monte Carlo analysis result will not change regardless of how many times new random numbers are generated. Previous versions only used static random numbers.
  • NEW for 2024: Momentum spreadsheet code generator. On the press of a button, RC Monte Carlo will set up the equations necessary for a Monte Carlo analysis using conservation of linear momentum. All you ned to do is specify the random numbers.
  • Filters allow the user to eliminate impossible reconstructions from the results. For example, if an EDR reports the delta-V for one car to be between 20 and 25 MPH, the filter will strip out all reconstructions that do not meet that criteria.
  • Cell comments automatically added to remind the user of distribution and filter settings.
  • Automatic statistical results and charts provided at the press of a button.
  • Custom accident reconstruction formulas hard coded into the application include Conservation of Linear Momentum equations, CRASH3 algorithm equations, airborne, Searle, and more!
  • Built-in capability to solve momentum problems where vehicle 1 is NOT approaching on the x-axis. Great for assigning uncertainties to both vehicles' approach angles. It is not necessary to assume that one vehicle was approaching at 0 degrees.
  • All commands added to a new tab on the Excel ribbon.
  • Built-in Help system including tutorial videos.
  • Printed reports print out inputted ranges, distributions, charts and statistics.

Requirements:

  • A PC running Microsoft Excel 2007 or greater. 
  • Excel language set to English.

Cost and Upgrades

RC Monte Carlo is $149 for first-time buyers.

You are permitted to install the program on two computers. Additional computers in excess of two (for an individual) are $79 each.

Minor release updates (example 1.0 to 1.1) are free. Major updates (example 1.1 to 2.0) will cost $59. Upgrade prices subject to change, but will always be less than current new customer prices.
