This section describes the ribbon tabs that are unique to Weibull++ and ALTA. For information about the tabs that are common for all Synthesis desktop applications (i.e., File, My Portal, Project, View and Help), see Ribbons.
The Home tab in Weibull++ and ALTA contains the following commands:
Paste
pastes the contents of the Clipboard to the current folio or spreadsheet.
You can choose Paste Values to
paste the values only, Paste Formats
to paste the formats only, Paste Formulas
to paste the formulas only, or Paste
All.
Cut
cuts the selected text to the Clipboard. Data stored in the Clipboard
can be pasted into any data sheet within the application or in other applications.
Copy
copies the selected text to the Clipboard. Data stored in the Clipboard
can be pasted into any data sheet within the application or in other documents. If
you are copying a plot, the way the plot is copied will depend on your
selection in the Copy Plot Graphic
setting in the Other
Synthesis Settings page of the Application Setup.
Format Painter
copies the format properties of text in a sheet and applies it to other
text. To use the Format Painter, first select the text with the format
properties that are to be copied, then choose Format Painter, and then
click the text to which the format properties are to be applied.
Redo
reapplies the previously canceled action. You can redo multiple actions
by choosing Redo again.
Undo
cancels the last editing change you made to the sheet.
Delete
deletes the selected text.
Clear
deletes the contents and format of the selected cell(s), but does not
delete the actual cell(s). You can choose Clear
Values to delete the contents only,
Clear Formats to delete the formats only, or Clear
All.
Format Selection
opens the Format submenu, which contains the following commands.
Alignment sets the alignment properties of the selected text.
Borders sets the border color and line style of selected cells.
Font Color opens the Color window, which allows you to set the color of the selected text.
Fill Color opens the Color window, which allows you to set the color used to fill the selected cell(s).
Fill Pattern opens the Cells Patterns window, which allows you to set the fill color, pattern color and fill pattern properties of the selected cell(s).
Select Font opens the Font window, which allows you to set the font, style and size of the selected text.
Custom Number opens the Format Cells-Number window, which allows you to set the format for how numbers in the selected cell(s) will displayed.
Column Width Style allows you to set the column width of the selected cells.
Span Evenly spans the columns across the spreadsheet with equal width.
Span Proportionally keeps the ratio of the column widths to span across the spreadsheet after they have been resized.
Keep As Set By User keeps the column width settings defined by the user.
Column Width opens the Column Width window, which allows you to set the column width of the selected cells. Enter the desired width in the input box. You can select the units of measurement (characters, inches or centimeters) from the Units drop-down list. To use the default column width, select the Use Default check box. To change the default column width, click Change Default. This will open the Default Column Width window, which allows you to set a new default column width.
Row Height opens the Row Height window, which allows you to set the row height of the selected cells. The Row Height window works the same way the Column Width window works, with the additional option of automatically setting the row height based on contents.
Freeze Panes locks a selected row on the spreadsheet so that the contents of the row will always be visible on screen no matter how far you scroll to the right or down. Changes cannot be made to a frozen row.
Merge Cells combines selected cells to form one cell.
Unmerge Cells separates merged cells into the original individual cells.
Select All
selects all of the cells in the currently active sheet.
Find
searches the active data sheet for specified text/values and, if desired,
replace the original with new text/values. You can specify the order in
which to search (either By Rows
or By Columns), and whether to
look in equations (Formulas) or
within the results of equations (Values).
Select the Match Case check box
to limit the results to text that have the same case. Select the Find Entire Cells Only check box
to limit the results to text/numbers that are identical to the search
term.
To replace every instance of a text string, click Replace and in the Replace With field, type the text that will replace the original (if you don't type anything, the tool will delete the original). Click Find Next to search for the text. When a match is found, you can either click Replace to replace the original with the new text, or click Find Next to leave the original as-is and find the next occurrence. To replace all instances without review, click Replace All.
Spelling
activates the Spell Check utility, which
allows you to check the spelling within the current sheet.
Print
sends the current data sheet or spreadsheet to the printer.
Print Preview
opens the Print Preview window, which
allows you to view how the current data sheet or spreadsheet will appear
on the printed page.
Page Setup
opens the Page Setup window, which allows
you to specify printing options.
Print Layout
displays the page boundary lines on the reliability
block diagram (RBD). Everything within the boundary lines will appear
on the printed page and this view allows you to make any necessary adjustments
to the final look of the diagram before sending it to the printer.
Weibull++ Monte
Carlo opens the Weibull++
Monte Carlo utility, which allows you to generate a data set that
fits a specified life distribution or user-defined model. The generated
data set can then be analyzed like any other data set and used in a variety
of applications, such as in the analysis of probabilistic design models,
or to compare the data generated from simulation with actual field data.
ALTA Monte
Carlo opens the ALTA Monte
Carlo utility, which allows you to generate a data set that fits a
specified life distribution and life-stress relationship at specified
stress conditions. The generated data set can then be analyzed like any
other data set and used in a variety of applications, such as in the analysis
of probabilistic design models, or to compare the data generated from
simulation with actual field data.
Non-Linear
Equation Root Finder opens the Non-Linear
Equation Root Finder utility, which allows you to solve for the root
of any user-defined non-linear equation. This helps you eliminate some
of the guesswork of solving for the value of the unknown variable that
brings the function as close to zero as possible.
Quick Statistical
Reference opens the Quick
Statistical Reference utility, which allows you to calculate common
statistical values such as median ranks, chi-squared values and student's
t values. It also includes a polynomial interpolation/extrapolation function,
which allows you to obtain new data points from a set of known data points
that you provide.
Quick Parameter
Estimator (W++) opens the Weibull++
version of the QPE, which allows you to estimate the parameters of
a distribution based on information you have about the reliability of
a product, the probability of an event occurring or the typical duration
of a task.
Quick Parameter
Estimator (ALTA) opens the ALTA
version of the QPE, which allows you to estimate the parameters of
a model based on information you have about the reliability of a product
at normal and accelerated stress levels.
Another Synthesis Application
provides a drop-down list of the other Synthesis applications that are
installed on your computer. When you click an icon, the same database
will be opened automatically in the new application.
Synthesis
Data Warehouse allows you to access data from ReliaSoft’s XFRACAS
or other external data sources for life data analysis. (See Synthesis
Data Warehouse (SDW).)
Synthesis Explorer
allows you to explore all of the different analyses that are stored in
the current database. You can filter, group and sort the analyses in a
flexible grid, and also present the information in a wide variety of dashboard
charts. (See Synthesis Explorer.)
Actions Explorer allows
you to explore all of the action resources that are stored in the current
database. You can filter and sort by date, status, person responsible,
relevancy to you, etc. (See Actions Explorer.)
