Setting the Monte Carlo Options for a Reliability Model

Monte Carlo options in GoldSim are defined in the Monte Carlo tab of the Simulation Settings dialog. The Simulation Settings dialog is accessed by pressing F2 or by selecting Run | Simulation Settings… from the main menu.

To change the number of realizations, simply edit the number in the # Realizations field.

Note: When Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) is selected in this dialog, it is also applied to failure modes (as well as other random variables in GoldSim). However, in this case, LHS is only applied to the first occurrence of the failure. LHS is not applied to subsequent occurrences within the same realization.

Note: If you choose to run a Deterministic simulation, the reliability elements still retain their stochastic behavior. However, other GoldSim elements (e.g., Stochastic elements, Timed Event elements) in the model behave deterministically.
