Weather states in Simevents model

Hi

EDIT: I just read about the restrictions to the event-based random number, and I guess I can't use it the way I have tried to(??) But nevertheless; Does anyone have any suggestions to how I can implement the wanted behaviour?

I am trying make a model that takes weather considerations into account, and later have an affect on different service times.

I have four different start-states for the weather

Probability: [22.7% 27.1% 28.2% 22.0%] for State [1 2 3 4]

I tried to use the event-based random number with arbitrary discrete distribution together with a "set attribute" block , but I couldn't get any distributed results.

Does anyone have any solutions/suggestions to how this could be solved or is best implemented in a Simevents model?

Thanks!

Hi Andrea,

The way you model that (as described) should work. You might want to check your model and make sure these blocks have been configured according to this design.

I tested the SimEvents construct in your picture and see entities distributed randomly as designed. The following are how I configured the Set Attribute block, and the Output Switch block.

Thank you !

This works great, I think I must have messed up the Output Switch parameters.
