QXL Monte Carlo Tab > Sampling Matrices > Descriptive Sampling

Quantum XL will generate Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) or Descriptive Sampling (DS) matrices for offline testing. These matrices allow you to test parts, assemblies, or simulations with representative variation. Descriptive Sampling is recommended, as the standard deviation error for DS is less than for LHS; however, they will both provide better estimates of variation than ad-hoc testing.

You will need to enter the Number of Factors and the Number of Runs and press OK. Quantum XL will create a new worksheet with the sampling matrix and the ability to change the distribution and parameters.
