FMRA Tab

This Ribbon is available only when you are working in the FMRA tab in the System panel with a Failure Modes and Reliability Analysis (FMRA).

Add System Items

  Add System adds a new top level (system) item to the System panel. The new item will be added to the bottom of the list.

  Add Next Level Item adds a new item to the next level below the item that is currently selected in the System panel. The new item will be added to the bottom of the list for that level.

  Add Same Level Item adds a new item to the same level as the item that is currently selected in the System panel. The new item will be added to the bottom of the list for that level.

Add FMEA Items

  Add Function adds a function to the FMRA. The new function will be added to the bottom of the list.

  Add Failure adds a failure mode to the FMRA. The new failure will be added to the bottom of the list for that level.

  Add Cause adds a cause to the FMRA. The new cause will be added to the bottom of the list for that level.

RAM Analysis

  Calculate (Reliability) calculates and displays the reliability and criticality values for each record in the FMRA hierarchy.

  Simulate (Availability) displays the reliability, availability and cost calculations (obtained via simulation) for each record at the end time specified in the simulation settings.

  Highlight applies a color-coding gradient to the results shown in each column, from green (least "desirable" result) to red (most "desirable" result). This command toggles highlighting on and off.

  Policy Update opens the Batch Update Reliability Policy window, where you can change the policy type for all applicable records in the FMRA hierarchy.

  Mirrors

1. • Add Cause to Mirror Group opens the Add to Mirror Group window where you can add a cause to an existing mirror group or create a new mirror group that the cause will be added to.

   • Remove Cause from Mirror Group removes the cause from the mirror group that it belongs to.

   • Clear All Mirror Groups removes all causes from all mirror groups.

  Optimum Replacement opens the Optimum Replacement window, which allows you to define the cost of planned and unplanned replacement tasks and calculate the optimum replacement time, as well as the cost per unit time at that replacement time.
