Detail:

Global Hanging Branches Block Count limits the Number of blocks (time periods) modelled after the hanging branch begins. By default (-1), this is set to the number of weeks or months in a year depending on the Tree stage type and LDCType, so one block per LDC will be formulated for hanging branches. To achieve a faster performance, user could set it to 3 (2 or 1) for example that after the third (second, first) stage, the remaining periods will be formulated in one block. Here is an illustration for this property with a 5 blocks per LDC setting in MT Schedule.
