Home > Simulation Environment Procedures > Generators Procedures
Generators introduce transactions into a process at designated Start Points during a simulation and may also set the initial value of defined attributes. A generator can only introduce transactions at one start point in your process, but you can add generators to introduce transactions at different rates and at different points in your process.
Generators can set the rate at which transactions enter the process. For example, each generated transaction can represent a customer submitting an order.
The Generators dialog box displays all existing generators and their settings. On the Model menu, choose Generators or, on the Model toolbar, click the toolbar button.
To introduce transactions at multiple points, use the Properties dialog box - Inputs page to define start points, and use the Generators dialog box- Setup tab to define a generator for each start point.
