Breakdown settings ?

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

I don't see anything wrong in those screenshots.

What is going wrong, exactly?

Attaching your model would help too.

What you get by exponential distribution is spreading Up to 13 Times of your mean.

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.
