Random number seed for passenger generator

This input is only applicable and active when the Analysis type is Simulation.

When Elevate runs a simulation, it takes the information entered in Building Data and Passenger Data to make a list of people. For example, if you have a total arrival rate of 10 persons per five minutes, and a simulation running for 5 minutes, then a list of 10 people will be generated.

A random number generator is used to determine at what time these people arrive. For example, one person may arrive after 10 seconds, another after 23 seconds, another after 1 minute 23 seconds, and so on.

By changing the random number seed, the simulation will have the same number of people generated, but they will arrive at different times.
