Changing a random number each time period

[miller2158]

I cannot get a new random number at each time step. I downloaded the project_generator (http://www.ventanasystems.co.uk/forum/v ... php?t=2825). When I load this it creates a uniform random number for each time period, but my model creates a single value at time 1 and remains constant for the rest of the simulation. My variable is Auxiliary:Normal with the following argument [integer(RANDOM UNIFORM(0,max random, 0))].

I checked all of the settings between the example and my settings, but I can't find any difference.

Have you changed the value of "max random"? If so, what have you changed it to?

[miller2158]

It is currently set at 100 to generate a 1% distribution for a decision at each time step.

Can you post the model on here? Or just copy the offending parameters into another model and upload that?

[miller2158]

Here is the portion of the model

If I simulate the model you posted it generates a 101 points in a random sequence. Are you trying to use this in gaming mode?

I just ran that small model and it generates a random number each period. This is a copy/paste from the model and both where run as simulations.

I originally had some game variables, but these were changed back to constants.

The only thing that I can think of is that there may be an INITIAL(xxxx) function trapping a single random value.
