Need to handle different working hours and days for batches/courses in a school

[sigmason]

Hi,
First i like to congratulate authors for a fantastic highly efficient tool to handle one of complex problem of timetable generation. I am studying FET for past few months. I have a requirement to handle different set of class timings ( periods / hours ) which may be different batch wise / course wise. Also different batches / courses may have different set of days. So how effectively i can use fet to handle my requirement. Another big need is if in case timetable generation fails during simulation stage. How well to identify which data should be corrected to solve timetable generation failure.

Regards,
Sigmason

You could try to define the smallest common divisor for the durations/days, and use this. We need to talk some more, maybe by a concrete example.

I am sorry, but I cannot help you more than FET does. FET indicates the problematic activities, not the problematic constraints, unfortunately.
