Simulation Start Parameters (StartSimulationData)

This provides the start parameters needed for simulation such as the distribution and number of cases. These are found on the Properties view of the start event:

<xpdl:ExtendedAttribute Name="StartSimulationData">
<simulation:StartSimulationData NumberOfCases="100">
    <simulation:Duration>
      <simulation:ConstantRealDistribution ConstantValue="5.0"/>
    </simulation:Duration>
    <simulation:DisplayTimeUnit>MINUTE
    </simulation:DisplayTimeUnit>
</simulation:StartSimulationData></xpdl:ExtendedAttribute>
Attribute Example Notes
NumberOfCases 
<simulation:StartSimulationData NumberOfCases="100">
 Specifies the number of cases for simulation.
Duration 
<simulation:Duration>
<simulation:BasicDistribution>
<simulation:NormalRealDistribution Mean="5.0" StandardDeviation="2.0"/>
</simulation:BasicDistribution>
</simulation:Duration>
 Specifies the distribution for case starts as one of the following:
  • ConstantRealDistribution (Specify a decimal value for ConstantValue).
  • UniformRealDistribution (Specify decimal values for LowerBorder and UpperBorder).
  • NormalRealDistribution (Specify a decimal value for the Mean and StandardDeviation).
  • ExponentialRealDistribution (Specify a decimal value for the Mean).
