Generate a random date within a given range in anylogic

Question

I have an agent Container, which has a parameter departure_date. I want to generate random future dates for this parameter. The date should be between current date and next 30 days. How can I achieve this?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

It is not clear whether your parameter is of type Date or double. I'll provide you with a solution for each case.

• Date

departure_date = addToDate(date(), DAY, random()*30);

• Double - assuming your model time unit is DAYS

departure_date = time() + random()*30
