You need to detect and resolve this mistake in your modelling approach. Therefore, if you encounter this error whilst completing your individual assignment this means that there is a mistake in your model. MapleSim includes business hours support. However, your individual assignments are designed in a way that you should not have this issue at all. With regards to system requirements, MapleSim is available as Windows and Mac software. Later on you will be using the Balking example to monitor the number of entities behind queues and will be able to troubleshoot this sort of problem. Do not worry - by changing the time between arrivals or reducing the processing time you can solve this problem at this stage.

The reason for this error could be due to the parts waiting behind resources to be processed or too many entities being generated. exceeding the allowance for the demo version. This is due to the fact that the model is generating too many entities i.e. * NOTE Example E2.1 : If you are running example 7 -1 (Course Book, Mousavi) using Arena's academic/demo version you realise that a warning/error will pop up after a while declaring that "you have exceeded 150 entities" allowed for the academic/demo version of Arena. Lab Exercises (E2.1): Chapter 7, Course Book, Mousavi, 2011.
