Hi,
I am trying to set up the failures on my machines but I can't. I want the failures to occur exponentially every 4 hours and to last exponentially for 7 minutes. I have made the following parameter, is it good?
4 h = 14400 s
7 min = 420 s

What is going wrong, exactly?
Attaching your model would help too.

You have a zero for the first failure time - you should instead use the correct distribution for the first failure time. Luckily for you the exponential distrubution is memory-less so it's statistically okay to put the same up time in for your first failure time.
