Seeds

 

This dialog displays a listing of the Random Number Streams available in SIMPROCESS. Those streams are labeled 1-215. The number to the right of the label is the seed for that stream.

 

When a statistical distribution is used in SIMPROCESS, editing the value in the Stream field for the selected distribution can specify the Random Number Stream from which that sample will be drawn. This may be desirable to eliminate interdependencies between processing times, breakdown intervals, etc., that may arise from sampling from the same Random Number Stream.
