Trigger OnReset and Distribution

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I have an object named "InQueue". This object has a Label named "NumOrders" and a trigger OnReset which sets the label "NumOrders" to a statistical value.

int value = negbinomial( 11.000000, 3.382816);

Every time I reset the model, the line is called (I tested it with the debugger), but the number it gets from the function is always the same (a different number depending on the stream chosen). Is this a bug or something I'm missing?

I'd like this number to change every time the model is reset, since this variable sets the number of orders to be analyzed (and has to be a random value).

Thanks!

The model is supposed to run the same way every time. The experimenter is what you use to try out different scenarios and different random numbers.

Take a look at this previous answer.

Did you check to make sure you have "Repeat Random Streams" unchecked from the Statistics menu?

If this option is selected it makes the random streams the same for each Reset of the model.
