What is more, all of this is achieved without the need to rearrange a single equation. What makes it special is its ability to switch inputs and outputs. The user can click on a value and get a complete list of all equations it is used in. Similarly for an equation, a complete list of variables involved can be shown, including names and values. If Atebion can not find a solution to the user's model, a list of equations and variables it recognises as bad or strange will appear as part of the diagnostics.
Spreadsheets have no comparable facility.
Goal seeking features Using the capabilities of a modern personal computer, Atebion will automatically solve complex algebraic systems of equations. Instantly easy to use interface The easy to use Atebion interface has been designed to give the user the ability to follow an unfamiliar model. Variable names are used throughout Atebion , avoiding unintelligible cell references. Tables are organised into a user defined, tree-like structure similar to Windows file manager. Sub trees can also be deleted and added as the user requires or even saved as separate files, maintained separately and updated at a later date.
