Derating Analysis

Derating is the selection and application of parts and materials so that the applied stress is less than rated for a specific application. To use derating analysis in Lambda Predict, you will first apply a derating standard to a selected standard item in the system hierarchy (you can select any except the NSWC standard item , the Siemens standard item or the MIL-217 Parts Count standard item ). The selected derating standard will be applied automatically to all the components under that item. You can define your own custom derating standard or select from any of the following published derating standards:

Once a derating standard has been applied, you will need to define the derating properties of each component that will be analyzed. The application will then automatically evaluate each component to determine whether it meets the derating requirements provided by the standard you are working with. Any components of types not specified in the derating standard are not considered in the derating analysis.

The following topics describe how to use the prediction folio for derating analysis:
