File Distribution

When the File distribution is associated to an event, the time instants where the event occurs are read from a file previously declared by the user. When more than one simulation run is done, the time instants of each run must be declared in separated files named filename.r_$i$, where $i$ denotes the index of the run starting from 0. filename, without extension, can be used in place of filename.r0. Within these files, the time instants are described by the following line format:

  I_TIME   N_EV

This indicates that N_EV equally-spaced events occurred during the interval I_TIME, starting from previous interval, and the last event coincides with I_TIME (see Figure ).

NOTE: When the stop condition of the simulation is not satisfied and (1) the number of samples of the FBM or FARIMA distribution is exhausted, or (2) the end of the file containing the distribution is reached, a box displaying a warning message appears and the simulation stops.
