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?

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?

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.
