Thanks, that's what I feared for.
I want to simulate the cumulative density for a trivariate normal distributed set of variabes. This result should be used in my Maximum Likelihood estimation procedure.
I guess a solution to this problem is to simulate it by repeating my simulation more often with less observations to obtain the desired probability. So that's what I'll find out first.
Thanks again Nick!
