Abstract
Computer simulations of physical systems often include effects of random disturbances. A method is derived for including those disturbances in continuous system simulation language (CSSL) computations. This note shows that the effects of white (or colored) noise are easily implemented by using a random number generator of proper variance. The numerical example of an exponentially correlated random variable illustrates the simulation technique.
