Solving the Model

To solve the model, click on the Analytical Model Solution button. Choose the Stationary Methods $\rightarrow$ Non-Markovian Models.

Suppose, in this model, that we want to obtain the fraction of time the queue has $n$ customers. We then need to choose the state variable queue to calculate the measure of interest.

Note that the ``independent_chains'' object must be specified. In this case, there are no objects that behave independently of each other while the deterministic event is enabled, therefore all objects in the model are included in ``chains'' for this event.

The model results are stored in file <model_name>.SS.NM.marginal_probs. This file includes the marginal probabilities of each state variable you select. In the file
<model_name>.SS.NM.expected_cycle_length the expected length of the intervals between embedded points are stored.

The tool also creates other files that may be useful to the user. For instance, the user can choose (using the interface) to generate the embedded Markov chain used in the solution, and the steady state solution of that chain. For a complete list of the files generated by the method please refer to appendix .
