nique. For the same accuracy, it generally requires fewer simulation
loops than the Direct Monte Carlo sampling technique. You will set
the number of simulations to 40 and the number of repetitions to
1 to give 40 analysis loops. Forty loops will be a sufficient number
for demonstration purposes.

Choose the Latin Hypercube sampling method.
OK.

Type in 40 for the Number of Simulations and 1 for the Num-
ber of Repetitions to give a total of 40 simulations.
Choose Random Sampling for the Interval Sampling Option.
Choose Execute ALL Sims for the Autostop Option.
Choose Use Continue CONT for the Random Seed Option.
OK.
