Title: Either I'm getting good at scheduling... Or your FET is getting very smart :)

Hi Liviu,

As the subject says ...
I have been scheduling since 1996, and using fet since 2006
And I swear the program is getting very smart...

Now when I make a 100 schedule run it is not uncommon for me to have a gen which has 0! software conflicts... the last run actually had two "perfect" schedules :)

One is attached :)

Keep up the good work :)

please go to:
fet -> data -> time constraints -> activities -> min days between a set of activities -> modify multiple constraints at once
then set "new values" -> "weight" to "100" and press ok.

now every generated timetable will be a perfect schedule and it doesn't need (much) more time! i just checked it with your dataset :-)

happy timetabling

Absolutely amazing! Thanks Volker!

I knew I could do that... but I wouldn't have dared.

regards,
donjon

Thank you for your appreciation! I am not sure I did improvements in the way you are saying.

Please let me know if I can add the file to the official files (no privacy problems), and in what directory.

Yes, If you wish to use the files, you are welcome to...

The file would be under Belize/Sacred Heart College

My previous version was 5.18.0 so it was a while ago ... likely you have improved slightly.
I do remember getting zeros last time, but that was before all the rules were input.

regards,
donjon

HI,

Now you can have the finished product if you wish.

I have changed procedures now, submitting 10 "perfect" schedules to admin so they can choose the one which they like...

You can see them in fet format at: http://janus.shc.edu.bz/in/les/schedule/demo

and the final product:

thanks Liviu and Volker!
