How do I define not program breakdowns in Flexsim?

For example, in a company there are at least this breakdowns: minimum 1/day, maximum 3/day, and the most common is 2 per day. Each stop lasts 5 minutes. I was trying to do it with MTBF / MTTR, but in First Failure Time I can only enter distributions of the times of the breakdowns, however I only have the information I previously specified. Does anyone recommend me how to do this?

Software Version:

FlexSim 7.7.4

Then you choose a distribution. Test its parameter in a small model to fit your criteria. Your test should last at a minimum period of 100 days. And if nothing else works you create a global table based on a discrete empirical distribution with your three probabilities. The command is "dempirical(obj table, num stream)". You find the documents in the command manual under the function keywords dempirical and empirical.
