The Uniform distribution will randomly select numbers within a specific range. The uniform distribution strategy will include numbers with decimal points. If you'd rather only create whole numbers, use the Duniform distribution strategy instead. The following image shows an example of the Uniform distribution strategy:
The Uniform distribution has three settings:
- Minimum - The lowest possible number that might be generated at random.
- Maximum - The highest possible number that might be generated at random.
- Stream - Determines which one of FlexSim's random number streams should be used to generate these random numbers. Typically you won't need to edit this parameter.
When you make changes to the settings, the blue bar graph will update to display the probabilities that certain numbers will be generated.
