Changing arrival pattern
Posted: Tuesday 14 March, 2017 - 09:14
Dear all,
I am currently building a model where the arrival pattern is changing over time, and I will have different distributions during the simulation run (peak hours and non-peak hours).
Therefore, I would like to find a good way to assign different distributions for the arrival depending on the time.
Currently I have solved it with a if statement in the inter-arrival time in the source atom, but I wonder if there is a better way to do it? For example by assigning different distributions in an excel sheet and read different rows in the table at depending on the time.
Thank you for all the help!
