KITCHENER, ON--(Marketwired - December 14, 2015) - SigmaXL Inc., a leading provider of user friendly Excel Add-ins, announces the release of DiscoverSim Version 2 for Monte Carlo Simulation and Global Optimization.

DiscoverSim is now bundled with MIDACO, one of the world's strongest evolutionary solvers for global optimization. MIDACO was developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) to solve some of the most difficult space trajectory problems. It holds the benchmark world record best solution to Full Messenger (Mission to Mercury) in the ESA Global Trajectory Optimization Database.

Other new features in version 2 include:

• Non-normal Process Capability for all 53 continuous and 10 discrete distributions.
