How to get the value of a particular row and column in an Empirical distribution table? Seems like it should be able to be referenced like a global table but that doesn't seem to work.
The data of an empirical distribution is saved in a treenode containing bundle data in the tree of the respective "empirical distribution" object.
Values in it can be accessed with the "getbundlevalue" command.
- // Get reference to the node containing the data -
- // replace "EmpiricalDistribution1" with the name of the distribution
- treenode bundle = Model.find("/Tools/EmpiricalDistributions/EmpiricalDistribution1>variables/data");
- // Assign value to variable
- double val = getbundlevalue(bundle, <row>, <column>);
Important note: The rows ("entry") and columns ("field") of bundles are 0-indexed.
Hello @Allen Greenwood,
That's not quite how Empirical Distributions work. They work like using any other statistical distribution: you define the parameters of the distribution and FlexSim outputs a random value that fits the distribution every time the distribution is accessed. The Empirical Distribution works the same way, except you manually define the parameters.
Does that answer your question?
