Named Distributions

In Simul8 you can name distributions that can be applied in many places in simulations. For example, if you have a simulation with 50 machines that work at the same given rate but you need to change this rate, you could create a distribution named ‘MACHDIST’, apply the distribution to all machines, and easily update the distribution’s parameters.

To create a Named Distribution, use the ‘New’ button in the Distribution panel from any dialogs that select distributions, or select Distributions from the Build tab and click New. Then select Named Distribution.

Named distributions can be manipulated from Visual Logic using the following commands:

• Object uses named distribution
• Set distribution parameters

• Probability Profile Distributions
• Time Absolute Distributions
• Time Dependent Distributions
• Combination Distributions
• Label Based Distributions
• External Distributions
• Access Information Store
• Bounded Distributions
