Superposition System

Description: Allows you to manually build a table that shows the failure times on the timeline of the superposition system. This applies to the Repairable Systems data type only.

Field Format: [SUPERSYSTEM(Source Number)(Row;Column)]

Source Number is the associated data source number.

Row corresponds to the order of the data points on the timeline of the superposition system, as shown in its System Operation plot (i.e., row 1 = 1st failure, row 2 = 2nd failure, etc).
Column is an index value (from 1 to 5) that returns the following information:
- 1 = returns the number that is specified in Row.
- 2 = returns the cumulative number of failures.
- 3 = returns the failure time.
- 4 = returns the mode classification (for the Crow Extended model only).
- 5 = returns the failure mode (for the Crow Extended model only).

Remarks:

The Source Number must be either 1,2,3 or 4.

The Row and Column values must be greater than 0.

Example:

[SUPERSYSTEM(1)(5;2)]

Returns:

0.3333333333

Note that this value will vary depending on the source data set.
