Universal Reliability Definitions (URDs)

A universal reliability definition (URD) describes a set of reliability and maintenance characteristics for a particular component/assembly. Like any other resource, you can create or edit URDs while you're performing a relevant analysis, and from the Resource Manager.

Note: Depending on where you are using a URD, only those properties that are relevant are applied. For example, if you apply a URD to a block in an analytical diagram in BlockSim, only the failure model associated with the URD will be applied to the block.

Naming the Resource

For a new resource, a name will be proposed automatically based on the default naming criteria established for the current database (see Default Name Formats window). You can replace this with your own name of up to 150 characters, if desired. Remember that the name and identifiers are the primary way in which your team will be able to find the resources you need for your analyses.

Hierarchy Tab

Use the Hierarchy tab to view and/or edit the URD's properties. You can choose or create:

Trace Usage
