Quantities By Case on a Resource function of time()

I want to change the resources quantities based on the timestamp of the simulation.

In my case I want to have 20 resources at the beginning of the simulation until 10'000 seconds of run and then 50 resources.
My configuration isn't working

Any idea ?

A setup case must be a value, it can't be a mathematical statement.

To deal with your question, I would rather have a Resource with a count of 50, acquire 30 resources at time 0, and release them after a delay of 10'000 seconds:

This way you have 20 resources available from time 0 to 10'000 seconds and then 50 resources available.

See the attached example: 2019-08-13-resources-available-based-on-time.fsm
