For more videos and topics, download old webinar recordings and their corresponding models on the Analytica User Group/Past Topics page on the Analytica Wiki. 

The following video demonstrates the process of building a model from start to finish, illustrating the various stages of model building, and typical steps involved.

Here are short introductory videos for Analytica users.

Direct links to videos in this series:

• Getting started with Analytica (4 min)
• Using influence diagrams (4 min)
• Brief introduction to Intelligent Array Abstraction (4 min)
• Linking to Excel via OLE linking (9 min)

These videos correspond to the first three chapters of the Analytica Tutorial, covering the core material that you’ll need if you are using a model that has already been built. If you plan on building models of your own, then you should continue through Tutorial Chapters 4-9 (there are no videos for these).
