Running simulation multiple times without changing experiment variables?

Is there a way to run a simulation multiple times without actually changing any variables? I need to show average data on the dashboard from multiple runs. Thanks!

Hi @Matthew Gillespie, I am trying to run multiple times a model without changing any variable, I add a percentage in order to separate items with a probability function and I want to collect the data of the states of the processors in multiple times. I do not know if it is because I am using a trial version of the software but I can not access to the Experimenter part. I attach you a photo of how it is seemed. Thank you!

You just need to change the number of Replications per Scenario on the Experimenter.

Changing the number of replications will change the number of columns on the Status window. As you can see it's doing 5 Replications per Scenario.

Scenarios represent a version of your model with a certain set of variables.

There are two scenarios which show up as the rows in the Status window.

So even if I don't have any variables at all (just want to run my exact model multiple times), it should work this way?

Yes, for example I made a simple model where patients walk in and then immediately walk out.

I ran 5 replications with only 1 scenario and no variables and got the following throughput graph (number of arrivals):
