Using experimenter scenarios to vary the size of a location resource

Hello, I would like to run a sensitivity analysis on a the size of a location resource. For example, I would like to vary the number of beds in an area from 0-10. Can I accomplish this by setting up scenarios in Experimenter?

Hi @Kaitlin M, yes this is definitely possible in Experimenter. First, add the maximum number of beds to your model that you would want to analyze. Add these to a group. Then in the parameters table, you can select the group and select the option "Set Number in People Group."

Now when you change the number in the parameter, you will see the inactive beds have a solid black box around their base.

Here's a very simple model with the setup. experimenter beds.fsm
