Set Object Distribution Parameters

Sets/changes a distribution used at one object.

Changes the type (e.g. Normal, Exponential etc) of distribution used by an object. Choose the object, then the Distribution to be changed (inter arrival time, cycle time, change over, batch size), then set the parameters. Not all the parameters need to be set. Please note that the distribution type needs to be entered in the command. It is not possible to use a reference to a distribution type.

Parameters

• Object - The object with the distribution to be changed.
• Distribution to be changed. - Which of the object's distribution should be changed.
• Distribution Type - The type of SIMUL8 distribution to be used.
• Parameter 1 - The value of the first parameter for the chosen distribution type.
• Parameter 2 - The value of the second parameter for the chosen distribution type (if used).
• Parameter 3 - The value of the third parameter for the chosen distribution type (if used).
• Parameter 4 - The value of the fourth parameter for the chosen distribution type (if used).

Set Object Distribution Parameters Activity 1, Operation Time, Normal, 15, 2, 0, 0

This example shows how to change the distribution used for the Operation Time of Activity 1 to a normal distribution with an average of 15 and a standard deviation of 2.
