从 AnyLogic 中的参数绘制分布值

Question

How can I change draw a value from a distribution stored in a parameter during runtime?

Let's suppose my parameter value is "triangular (0.5 , 1 , 1.5)", for example. In my model, this parameter is called parDelayUnloading. I have many delays along my model that refer to the same parameter. I created this parameter because it is easier to change the values at only one place than doing it at each "delay". A value will be assigned when the simulation starts.

Note that I want the parameted value to be refreshed each time aa new entity enters the "delay" boxes. On enter: .....

What should I do?

Thank you!

If you just want to draw values from your distribution, encoded into a parameter, all you need to do is to call the parameter at the appropriate Java code blocks. So if you need a value from it to be used for an entity on entering a delay block, you can write agent.whateverINeedItFor = myParameter . The latter automatically draws a value from your distribution.

Hope that makes sense.
