Thank you for such long and comprehensive explanation. Here I sum up my misconception or in adequate explanation in the FET.
I thought about the teacher: Max days (available)
FET schedules the teacher: Max days (working)

Thanks once again.

OK. Then explain me the following also.
There is a constraint:
FET->Data->Time constraints->Teachers->Min days per week for a teacher

How this constraint is different from the constrain under discussion?

rodolforg!

What activities exactly would have broken this constraint?

Monday: 14-15
Tuesday: 12-13 and 13-14
Wednesday: 14-15 and 13-14
Thursday: 8-9

rodolforg!

But the FET is not respecting  time range [9:00~12:00]!

Groucho!

Will you look to following thread:
https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?topic=3644.0

and give your feedback?

Volker!

Will you read a post of Liviu:
https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?topic=2190.msg12407#msg12407

It clearly shows that source can be modified and reused. If you do not have enough time, ignore it.

I am not pointing towards max days. read carefully

Interval start hour=09:00-10:00
Interval end hour=11:00-12:00

the start and end times are violated 6/12 times.

I hope he would respond with in a month.

Volker!
No. I am talking about the following constraint:
FET->Data->Time constraints->Teachers->A teacher works in an hourly interval max days per week
The concerned box will show you:
Time constraint
A teacher respects working in an hourly interval a maximum number of days per week
Weight (percentage)=100%
Teacher=Mr. S Bhanbhan
Interval start hour=09:00-10:00
Interval end hour=11:00-12:00
Maximum days per week=5

but the results are out of bound. His six hours are not respected out of 12.
I hope you understand now. Earlier I have told that I did it alternatively.

I converted the <Even_Semester_CED_teachers.xml> by  <FETtoExcelExporter.exe> it showed me all things well. Then I exported the two files which are attached in zipped format. I tried to open them with Excel 2013. First dialogue said "We found a problem with some content in 'Even_Semester_Students.xlsx'. Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes." I clicked Yes.
The file was open and second dialogue said "Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable contents.
Removed Part: /xl/sharedStrings.xml part with XML error.  (Strings) Illegal name character. Line 2, column 470." Further more the diague contained "Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet2.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet3.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet4.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet5.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet6.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet7.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet8.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet9.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet10.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet11.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet12.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet13.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet14.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet15.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet16.xml part
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet17.xml part"

There were 17 blank sheets.
I repeated with <Even_Semester_CED_Teachers.xlsx>.
The end result was same ie I got blank sheets.
The exe file has certain problems

Read the subject again. It will explain you the constraint. However, I used <A teacher's not available times> constraint alternatively, and got my results. (I think it is duplication of constraints.) Here is the zipped file attached.

I used the subjected constraint for a teacher (Mr. S Bhanbhan). But FET ignores the constraint. Am I doing certain mistake?
Edited note: I am not able to upload <Even_Semester_CED_data_and_timetable.fet> file as its size is 540 kB.

Write down few activities, which you want on Thursdays. Use constraint "An activity has a preferred starting time" for one of the listed activities. First hour would be a good choice on Thursday. Afterwards use "A set of activities has same starting day (any hour)" for all listed activities. I hope it will work.

In Tools/Links section, there is "A program to convert the FET timetable XML results to Microsoft Excel, by Roberto Trevisan". There should be a reserved section for its discussion. I this forum, there is a section <FET Tools>, where "TiTiTo - Tiny Timetabling Tool" discussion is available. I propose to create another discussion section for the subject.
