> > ### **SmartModels Utilities: Simulate**
> > 
> > Interest rate uncertainty is at peak levels. SmartModels Utilities give you a fast, powerful way to analyze interest rate variability with the **Simulate Rates** function. Using our industry standard, mean-reverting interest rate model, SmartModels Utilities allow you to quickly get entire distributions of interest rates with just a few quick inputs. 
> > 
> > Steps to using SmartModels Utilities' **Simulate Rates** function are:
> > 
> > 
> > 1. Select **Simulate Rates** from the dropdown
> > 2. Enter relevant dates: Start Date, First Rate Date, and End Date
> > 3. Enter rate model parameters: Initial Rate, Mean Reversion Speed, Average Rate, and Volatility
> > 4. Select the output range 
> > 5. Click the **Simulate **button 

> >  *BENEFITS*

> > - **Speed** – Create a complete interest rate simulation to understand interest rate variability in seconds
> > 
> > - **Simplicity** – Though many consider interest rate modeling the domain of “rocket scientists” only, this function gives anyone the most powerful features of a rate model    
> > 
> > - **Flexibility **– tweak the input for mean reversion and you have an equity return simulation model 
> > 
> > - **Speed again** - Input ranges are set and stored in the interface until the user changes it, saving additional time when data changes and recalculation is necessary
