Specify Intergeneration Times for Entities
3-9
Parameter Values Simulation Results
• Distribution = Uniform
• Minimum = 1
• Maximum = 3
The first entity, generated at T=0, appears in
the plot at T=1 after its service is complete.
The second entity, generated at a random time
between T=1 and T=3, appears in the plot
between T=2 and T=4.
• Distribution = Uniform
• Minimum = 1
• Maximum = 1.5
The plot might show more entities compared
to the preceding scenario because the range of
intergeneration times has the same minimum
but a smaller maximum.
• Distribution = Exponential
• Mean = 0.5
This system is called an M/D/1 queuing
system, where the M stands for Markovian
and indicates a Poisson arrival rate. The
exponential distribution has no upper bound,
so the time between successive entities could be
any positive number.
Use an Arbitrary Discrete Distribution as Intergeneration Time
This example uses the Event-Based Random Number block to generate entities at
intervals of 1, 1.5, or 2 seconds.
The Event-Based Random Number block has these parameters:
• Distribution = Arbitrary discrete
• Value vector = [1 1.5 2]
• Probability vector = [0.25 0.5 0.25]
As a result, the block generates intergeneration times Δt such that
