Xmin = [80,300,30,160,10]; # D,P,H,G min

Xmin = [100,400,50,20,10];

Xmax = [160,700,200,320,200]; 

p1(i,j) = Xmin(j) + rand*(Xmax(j) - Xmin(j));

But I want the rand(between 0 and 1)*(Xmax(j) - Xmin(j)) to be an int number, not float.

Hello Subscriber,

1.       Consider using the following functions, which take a floating-point argument and return an integer: ceil (rounds up), floor (rounds down), and round (rounds to the nearest integer).

2.       The rand function itself can also return an integer directly when used with 3 arguments. Please check the linked documentation for details.

 

Additionally, you may find it helpful to review the Ansys Optics Scripting Language section, as well as the Ansys Lumerical Scripting Course.

 

Best regards,

Kirill
