Default dempirical with random seed 100

Hi,


I found a weird results from "dempirical" command with random seed of 100. It seems it always returns the first outcome. I tested with other random seeds, and they seem work fine, though.
Attached is a screen capture I tested.
Anybody has the same experience?
Could you please test out the following script and let me know what you get? It could be just my machine???


I executed the command against a global table named "GlobalTable1". Two outcomes are defined as 1 and 2 with equal %, 50 an 50.
I tested it in FlexSim 7.5 and 7.7, and got the same results.


pd(dempirical("GlobalTable1", 100));pc(9);pd(dempirical("GlobalTable1", 10));pr();


Thank you for your checking.

"Although there are an unlimited number of random number streams available to the user, only the first one hundred streams numbered 0 through 99 have been initialized when the FlexSim application is opened. To create a new stream, simply execute the randinit() command for the new stream."

See the documentation for the randinit() command.

You can also set it in model settings where they're initialized at reset.
