HOW TO INSERT DIFFERENT EMPYRICAL DISTRIBUTIONS PER HOUR AND PER MONTH

Hello everyone, could you help me? I need to enter some inter arrival distributions in the source. Exactly, I need an empirical distribution for each hour of the day within a source, but also to switch to other distributions when I get to the next month, that is for 8 months. I don't know how to do this, maybe you could help me with an example please.

You can try to execute a string in the interarrival time function edit field, that you parse into the following commands or methods:

• executestring(,,)
• Variant.evaluate(..)
• Table.executeCell(..)

Hi @Ismael R3, I´m wondering if you´ve ever seen the date based source in Process Flow!? If you click an Arrival, you don´t only have to set a number of arrival tokens, but also can set a distribution fot the number of arrival tokens and the Arrival Spacing and the Offset.

The other thing I could imagine might help you, could be the Shedule Source in Process Flow. The Arrival Time in the Shedule does not have to be static in here.
