How to Link Empirical Distribution in Input Global Table?

Hi Team,

I am trying to link process time with empirical distribution defined in input global table. But it is not working for me.

What is the right way to do it?

LinkEmpiricalDistributionWithGlobalTable.fsm

Thank you!

Currently you are only creating a reference to the distributions node. To generate a value you have to use 'Empirical.get()'. Either you add this to the end of your current code line. Or you can also reference the distribution by name directly.

In any case, you also have to return the value the distribution generates as the value of the table cell when it gets read.

return Model.find("Tools/EmpiricalDistributions/EmpiricalDistribution1").as(Empirical).get();

or

return Empirical("EmpiricalDistribution1").get();

Hi @Felix Möhlmann,

I have 1 question here. Suppose I want to give only distribution name in Input table. Can I attach .get() in process time?

I am not able to fetch value in this case.

Thank you!

Type just the name in the table and call 'Empirical().get()' with the table cell as argument.
