Model stop by timetable

Hi,

I created a simple timetable.

Working hours are 9:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 18:00.

The table looks like this and looks correct.

However, when I run the simulation, it stops progressing after a certain period of time.

After investigating the cause, it seems that the cause is that the table contains negative values. Setting this value to 0 works fine.

Is it expected behavior that negative values can be defined in the table and that the simulation stops?

I noticed that the duration of the off-schedule-time from 0:00 to 9:00 is actually 11 hours long. What might have happened is that you added a break from 0:00 to 11:00 originally and then dragged the entire break block upwards so that the first rows move past 0:00, resulting in the negative value in the table.

I agree though that a feature to prevent this (or at least give a warning) could be implemented.

Having a negative value as the start time seems to me to be the culprit. I have submitted this issue to the Development team.
