Is it possible to set the seed to keep stochasticity but get repeatability?

Hello all,
We are using ED for one of my classes and while I was running the experiment wizard I noticed that my results kept changing (not surprising but still.)
Ideally I could give my model to my teacher and tell them, "These are the settings I used" and they could run the model to get the same results.
Is it possible, to set the seed at the start of the experiment so the experiment is repeatable, and I still get the benefits of a stochastic simulation?
I am using ED 9.0.0.1342 Academic / Classroom via school.
I looked at the Triggers but there is no "On start of experiment" in my version so the GeneratorSeed() command that I saw in this post: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=43 (assuming it exists, I haven't checked) seems of no help to me.
Thank you for your time,
Robin
