Plot Viewer

Xfmea provides a complete array of plots and charts for graphical presentation of your FMEA analysis. The Plot Viewer window allows you to view a variety of plots and charts. You can then save these plots and charts as metafile (*.wmf) graphics.

Note: Plots are available only for FMEAs. If the items you select in the Select Items window do not include any FMEA analyses, then the plots will not display any data.

To open the Plot Viewer utility, choose Home > Reporting > Plots.

In the Select Items window that appears, select one or more items from the current project that you want to include in the plots/charts and click OK. The Plot Viewer utility will appear.

To select a plot type, choose one from the Plot Type drop-down list on the control panel. See the Types of Plots topic.

While all plot types are available for all FMEA analyses, some plots may not display any results if your analysis does not include those items (e.g., if your analysis does not include any actions, then those plots will not show any details). Note that the included elements are based on the default settings shipped with the application.
