I was trying to create my first SimEvents models following the instructions in the Build a SimEvents Model Youtube playlist.
In the second video they open the Library Browser and select SimEvent > Generators > Entity Generator > Time-based Event Generator.
There is where I encounter my first problem, for me (I'm using MATLAB 2017a, installed fresh from today 2017-03-10) there is not submenus under SimEvents, and I can only find a generic "Entity Generator".
So my first question is if there has been significant changes in SimEvents since 2013, or if I'm missing some other component.
Then the video continues setting up the time-based entity generator thought the properties dialog where a Uniform distribution is selected.
How can I achieve the same using the generic "Entity Generator 2017b"?
My guess is that I should select Time source: MATLAB Action and leave
dt = rand;
as Intergeneration time action. Am I correct?
