---+ Editing Create Modules

Open the _Create_ module by double-clicking. You can change the name of the module by editing the _Name_ field and the type of entity created by editing the _Entity Type_ field.

The default arrival type is =Random (Expo)=, which implements exponential interarrivals with mean interarrival time set as _Value_. However, you can choose other types of arrivals including _Expression_ which allows you to use an Arena expression for arrivals. This can be useful for generating arrivals according to other probability distributions.

You can choose the _Units_ of the interarrival time, you can create multiple _Entities per Arrival_, you can limit the total number of entities the _Create_ module will generate with _Max Arrivals_ and you can set the creation time of the first arrival with _First Arrival_.
