Hi Team,
I am applying the downtime and uptime to my equipment using variable distribution Weibull (for up time) and lognormal (for downtime). But I have observed few instances where downtime and uptime are trigged at the exact same time which is not possible in reality.
How this is possible?
Thank you!

If either the uptime or downtime expression can produce a value of zero or less, then the down/uptime would occur at the same time. If an event is scheduled in the past (such as bringing an item down 2 seconds ago) then it just happens at the current time and a message appears in the system console. For this message, the system console does not open automatically. If you open the system console and run your model, watch for any messages that mention an "event time in the past".
To have quick workaround to avoid 0 time, I am using Math.max(0.1, distribution) currently.
Would you like to suggest anything else?
Thank you!
