Hello

I'm running some large scale analysis with the openstudio spreadsheet and i want to compare models with 1000+ simulations each with each other, but in order to do so they need to be run using the same sample.

I'm using the Latin Hypercube sampling option and i dont see anywhere to input seeds or custom samples, so does anyone know if this is possible?

Looked a bit further into the matter and it turns out that running two models with 1000 simulations each actually have the same sample, just in random orders. So all i had to to was sort the data according to one of the variables and the results become comparable.

So i guese that the server have some kind of pre-defined seed or sample generation method that is always used. If someone knows more about this, feel free to enlighten me :)
