To generate an arbitrary integer, use the expression
any(integer)
To generate an integer from an interval, subtype integer first.
If you want to use it with timer, you probably want random durations
instead, which you can write as
any(duration)
If you want this to specify action in a state after an unspecified
amount of time (as in
set (now + any(duration), T);
nextstate waiting;
state waiting;
input T;
...
), you can also use spontaneous transitions:
nextstate waiting;
state waiting;
input none;
...
Hope this helps,
Martin
