The ability to choose different statistical distributions helps provide some variability to the system. One of the helpful features that FlexSim has to help you choose the correct statistical distribution is the Distribution Chooser. </P><P><A rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://answers.flexsim.com/storage/attachments/48100-distribution.jpg" target="_blank">distribution .jpg</A></P><P>The Distribution Chooser helps you visualize what a given distribution looks like. It gives information such as the mean and standard deviation of the distribution. To open the Distribution Chooser click on your source, and then click on the edit parameters icon that is shown in the image below. </P><P><A rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://answers.flexsim.com/storage/attachments/48141-arrival-times.jpg" target="_blank">arrival times.jpg</A></P><P>I have included a link to a webpage that describes how the Distribution Chooser works and gives some information on a few of the more commonly used Statistical distributions. </P><P><A href="https://docs.flexsim.com/en/21.2/ModelLogic/AdditionalConcepts/UsingDistributionChooser/UsingDistributionChooser.html#keywords">https://docs.flexsim.com/en/21.2/ModelLogic/AdditionalConcepts/UsingDistributionChooser/UsingDistributionChooser.html#keywords</A></P></DIV> Mon, 31 Jan 2022 18:12:24 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-do-i-increase-the-output-from-source/m-p/13534061#M42316 Jacob_White 2022-01-31T18:12:24Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-do-i-increase-the-output-from-source/m-p/13534062#M42317 <DIV class="fr-view clearfix">Smaller values generated by distribution increase output of interarrival time driven sources. </DIV> Mon, 31 Jan 2022 18:46:49 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-do-i-increase-the-output-from-source/m-p/13534062#M42317 joerg_vogel_HsH 2022-01-31T18:46:49Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-do-i-increase-the-output-from-source/m-p/13534063#M42318 <DIV class="fr-view clearfix"> thank you so much for this! i'll try this out and will ask again if i have any enquiries! </DIV> Tue, 01 Feb 2022 16:41:53 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-do-i-increase-the-output-from-source/m-p/13534063#M42318 seri_hanzalah_h2 2022-02-01T16:41:53Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-do-i-increase-the-output-from-source/m-p/13534064#M42319 <DIV class="fr-view clearfix"> *inquiries! </DIV> Tue, 01 Feb 2022 16:42:17 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-do-i-increase-the-output-from-source/m-p/13534064#M42319 seri_hanzalah_h2 2022-02-01T16:42:17Z
