UniformNoise(Variable, Variable) Function

Description

Returns a random number with the specified mean and width.

 

Note that this function shares its seed value with FreeFlyer's internal random number generation. This means that even with a set seed value it is possible for this function to generate inconsistent values across Mission Plan executions based on the sequence of events undergone in the Mission Plan.
