With regard to BOTEC tools, if Excel interoperability seems important (and I agree that it does seem important), I’d encourage anyone interested in working on this to check out SIPmath (an Excel-plugin for Monte Carlo simulation). Creating a SIPmath model requires the plugin, but once the model is created, it will run for anyone who has Excel (even if they don’t have the plugin). SIPs (Stochastic Information Packets) are also platform agnostic which seems like it could be useful.
