Configuring the Responses | ||
| ||
Double-click the Monte Carlo component icon
.The Monte Carlo Component Editor appears.
From the Monte Carlo Component Editor, click the Responses tab.
The output parameters are listed on this tab.
Right-click in the table to access various options for working with responses.
For more information, see Setting Table Options.
Perform the following actions, which may vary based on your model design:
-
Determine which parameters you want to use as variables by selecting
the corresponding check boxes in the first column. Alternatively, you
can click Check
to add all the selected parameters
as responses. To clear all the parameters, click Uncheck.
If no parameters are selected, you are prompted to add all parameters as responses.
- Specify the Lower Limit for the response in the corresponding column. If you specify a lower limit for a response, the probability of response values greater than that lower limit are calculated and reported after all simulations are complete.
-
Specify an Upper Limit for the response in the
corresponding column. If you specify an upper limit for a response, the
probability of response values less than that upper limit are calculated
and reported after all simulations are complete.
Note: If both lower and upper limits are specified, the total probability between the limits is reported. This response probability can be used to characterize the reliability of that response with respect to remaining between the limits. The total probability of failure with respect to the specified limits can be determined by subtracting the total probability from one.
-
Specify the Percentile for the response in the
corresponding column. If you specify a percentile value (a value between
0 and 1) for a response, the response value corresponding to that percentile
of the resulting response distribution is reported after all simulations
are complete.
Note: When you move your mouse cursor over or click a specific column, the graph that represents that value is outlined on the right side of the tab. The graph not only gives you a visual aid but provides text information about the individual settings.

Determine which parameters you want to use as variables by selecting
the corresponding check boxes in the first column. Alternatively, you
can click Check
to add all the selected parameters
as responses. To clear all the parameters, click Uncheck.
If desired, click Edit at the bottom of the editor to set response options.
For more information, see Editing Attributes for Multiple Parameters.
If desired, map any of these response attributes to parameters.
For more information, see Mapping Options and Attributes to Parameters.
