How do I give units to a distribution?

[Simón Windmuller]

For example:

messageLength = gamma_d(32.498, 0.12797)

Which has to be in Bytes (B)

 

This does not work:

messageLength = gamma_d(32.498, 0.12797)B

or 

messageLength = ${gamma_d(32.498, 0.12797)}B 

either.

I've seen with the normal like:

normal(876s, 6s)

Which makes no sense for me mathematically speaking, unless the function only uses the letter just to output the calculation with the numbers and concatenating the letter.

Thanks,

Simon.

How did you define your messageLength parameter in your NED file?
Did you add a unit to messageLength (i.e., @unit(byte)) ??

[Rudolf Hornig]

The other approach is to multiply the function with 1B (i.e. gamma_d(32.498, 0.12797) * 1B)
