Hi!
I'm currently creating a new schedule for the next semester. Due to Corona limitations it cannot be a regular semester, but a mix of e-Learning activities and onsite lectures. This means that the students have some lectures on the campus (so that they have to drive from home to university) while other lectures are virtual, e.g. video conferences (so that they have to be at home for attending them).
The scheduling problem is that virtual activities and onsite activities must not directly follow each other because there is only a 30 minutes break between activities, which is not sufficient for driving from home to university (or vice versa). If there are onsite activities and virtual activities at the same day, I want to have a gap between them, so that students can use that gap for driving.
Is there any way of specifying this in FET? I thought of modeling it as different buildings. While the rooms in university are in building A, the virtual room could be specified in building B. But how can I specify a duration for changing between these buildings?
Or is there any other way of modeling my problem?
Best, Matthias
It should work, min 1 gaps between building changes for students (in space constraints, I wonder what didn't you find it).
But better: add two tags, and students min 1 gaps between pair of activity tags, add two constraints, AT1 to AT2 and AT2 to AT1.
Thanks a lot. I actually didn't believe that there is something that FET isn't capable of, so I was quite sure that I just didn't find the right constrain. I looked through all the menues several times - just didn't see it. Thanks for your fast support!
Best, Matthias
