1. A method comprising:
displaying, within a graphical user interface display space provided in a display of a computing device, a table associated with a hydraulic fracture simulation of a wellbore of a well, the table including one or more records, each record including one or more attributes;
receiving, by a data processor of the computing device, data characterizing a user input specifying an input parameter of an entry associated with the one or more attributes of the one or more records;
parsing, by the data processor, the user input for each attribute of the one or more attributes into one or more simulation attributes associated with executing the hydraulic fracture simulation, the one or more simulation attributes parsed using a predefined mini language syntax including at least one syntactic rule defining a reference value indicative of a measure of uncertainty for each attribute of the one or more attributes;
determining, by the data processor, prior to executing the hydraulic fracture simulation, a simulation variation value corresponding to a number of simulation variations associated with executing the hydraulic fracture simulation based on the measure of uncertainty for the one or more simulation attributes;
displaying, within the table displayed in the graphical user interface display space, the simulation variation value; and
determining, by the user, to apply the measure of uncertainty based on the simulation variation value resulting from the measure of uncertainty for the attribute.
