User-Defined Equations

The Weibull++ Monte Carlo utility includes the option to generate data sets based on user-defined equations. This can be used for a wide variety of applications in risk analysis, probabilistic design and other areas (see User-Defined Equation Example).

Entering a User-Defined Equation

When you select User-Defined in the Distribution area on the Main tab of the Monte Carlo utility, the Parameters area will be replaced with an Equation field.

To use the tool, enter an equation with at least one random variable. There are two ways to do that:

Note: A new uniform random variable is chosen for each time R appears in the user-defined equation. For example, if you enter R^2, the software will compute the square of one uniform random number. But if you enter R*R, the software will compute the product of two different uniform random numbers.
