- **Time Span:** Enter the amount of model time to pass after entering this state before the event actions are triggered. The first field is the variable value you would like to use. The second field is the time unit you would like to use. Click the field to reveal the dropdown menu of options then click your desired selection to set it.

<h3>Failure Rate <img src="/images/Modeling/events/dice.png" alt="Failure Rate" width="25"/></h3>
Samples a given probability of failure (P(t) = e^(-lambda*t)) to determine the time (t) of this event. The lambda or frequency value can be set to a static value or to a variable value. The lambda/frequency field will change form slightly depending on what type of value you are setting it to. Leave the checkbox next to "Use Variable Lambda/Frequency?" blank to set a static value or check it to use a variable value.<br>

- **Lambda/Freq:** The frequency (instances) of this event occurring per the time rate defined. Likely a decimal value like 0.0003. If you choose to have it as a static value, checkbox unchecked, type in the value into the field. If you choose to have it as a variable value, checkbox checked, click the field to reveal the dropdown menu of variables available in your model and click the variable to set it.
- **Time Rate:** Enter the time rate that the frequency is sampled over. The first box is the number of days, the second is the number of hours, the third is the number of minutes, and the fourth is the number of seconds. Values can only be integers.
- **Time Rate:** Enter the time rate that the frequency is sampled over. The first box is the number of days, the second is the number of hours, the third is the number of minutes, and the fourth is the number of seconds. For example, for an hourly failure rate, days=0, hours=1, minutes=0, and seconds=0. Values can only be integers.

<h3>Distribution <img src="/images/Modeling/events/dist.png" alt="Normal Distribution" width="25"/></h3>
Depending on the type of distribution selected, parameters are set to determine a variable, which in turn will determine when the event occurs. For each required parameter, there is a box for the time rate next to it. You can choose the time units for the parameter, or you can leave it on default, and use the default time unit. The default time rate is also changeable.
