Building Diagrams in BlockSim

To add a diagram to a project, choose Home > Insert > [Diagram Type].

To add blocks of any type (e.g., standard blocks, node blocks, fault tree gates, etc.) to a diagram, choose the applicable Add command on the [Diagram/Fault Tree/Phase/Markov/Process Flow/Flowchart] tab of the ribbon. For example, to add a standard block to a reliability block diagram, choose Diagram > Blocks > Add Block.

To add an AND gate to a fault tree, choose Fault Tree > Gates and Events > Add Gate > Add AND Gate.

Note: If a gate is currently selected in the fault tree when you add an item, the new item will be added below the selected gate and connected to it. If an event is currently selected in the fault tree when you add a gate, the new gate will be added above the selected event and connected either to the event or, if there is a gate above the event, to that gate. If an event is currently selected in the fault tree when you add another event, the new event will not be connected to the original selected event.

You also can cut or copy existing blocks (in the current diagram or in any other diagram of the same type) and paste them into the diagram using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands on the Home tab of the ribbon. Blocks created in this manner will possess the same style and properties as the original block.

To select an individual block, click it. There are several ways to select multiple blocks:

What's Changed? In previous versions of BlockSim and RENO, Templates were used to store reusable blocks that could be dragged into diagrams. In the current version, the reusability of resources makes this functionality unnecessary.
