## Iterate simulations

We can configure the simulation of multiple chains by simply increasing the number of chains (`n_chains`), as before.
385-
If we assume that each initial case start in a different time, we need to iterate over one specific chain simulation.

As before, we can configure the simulation of multiple chains by simply increasing the number of chains (e.g., from `n_chains = 1` to `n_chains = 1000`).

However, if we need to assume that each initial case starts (being infectious) at a different time, this can only be configured in one simulation function.
386+
Thus, we need to **iterate** multiple times over one specific chain simulation configuration to increase the probability of simulating uncontrolled outbreak projections.
