Sampling cycle time values from a histogram in expert fit

[ FlexSim 17.0.0 ]

I have a set of cycle time values which do not fit any distribution in expert-fit. I generated a histogram in expert fit and I was wondering how I could sample those values from the histogram for a processor in the model? Attached is the file for cycle times.

@Rohan Vaidya,

Check out the Commands reference from FlexSim's Main Menu > Help > Commands. Browse to the cempirical() command. There you can find a description of the three empirical distributions (empirical, cempirical, dempirical). One of these will likely suit your needs as far as using histogram-type data for your distribution.

Comment back with any questions.
