The contributions that time-dependent multidimensional numerical simulations have made to our understanding of MHD winds from accretion disks are reviewed. Current simulations can be divided into four categories: (1) axisymmetric global models, (2) axisymmetric simulations of the wind only, (3) three-dimensional local models, and (4) threedimensional global models. Results from each category are discussed. Current results indicate that weakly magnetized disks are turbulent, and that this turbulence is responsible for dynamo action which amplifies the disk field. These effects may have important consequences for the production of MHD winds. We discuss the feasibility of fully three-dimensional global models that can capture these effects in the future.
