Synthesis Settings

The Synthesis Settings page of the Application Setup can be changed from within any Synthesis desktop application.

• Interface sets the language and the skin (color scheme) for the software interface. Selecting a skin shows you a preview of the changes in the Application Setup window. The change takes effect in the rest of the interface the next time you launch each application.

  Note that a language change will not affect applications that are currently available only in English. For a list of supported languages, see http://www.reliasoft.com/languages/index.htm.

• Open With sets the Synthesis application to launch by default when you double-click an *.rsr11, *.rsf11 or *.rserp file from this computer. If you want to be prompted to choose an application each time, select Show the Synthesis Launcher.

• Recent Repositories List sets the maximum number of recently saved database files to be displayed in the "Recent Repositories" list in the Backstage view.

• Auto Save specifies when folios and diagrams will be saved automatically. The application always saves folios/diagrams upon calculate or close. If you want to also save periodically while you're editing, specify an interval. This can be useful if you're working across a network in an enterprise database. (This setting does not apply to Synthesis files.)

• Other

• • Allow multiple projects (project explorer) applies to Synthesis desktop applications that use the current project explorer (i.e., Weibull++, ALTA, BlockSim, RENO, RGA, and Lambda Predict). Select the check box if you want to have multiple projects open at the same time. There is a separate setting for project windows in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI. (See Working with Multiple Projects.)

  • Show project name in opened folios applies to Synthesis desktop applications that use the current project explorer (i.e., Weibull++, ALTA, BlockSim, RENO, RGA, and Lambda Predict). It shows the project name in [brackets] on the tab or window caption. This may be useful when you have multiple projects open at the same time.

  • Use web-based help. Select the check box to always make F1 and other help commands open the most up-to-date help file from the Internet when possible. If you clear this check box, they open the local help file that was installed with the software.

  • Display ReliaSoft Online pane shows the ReliaSoft Online pane in the Backstage view. If you do not have Internet connection or you simply want to reclaim the space allocated to these features, you can clear the check box to hide these panels.

  • Highlight 'Active' category in ribbon applies a highlight color to the label that shows which tabs are currently active.

  • Use non-modal Resource Manager locks the Resource Manager in a top window position so it can remain open while you have access to the project. If not selected, you must close the Resource Manager to return to the project.

  • Warn when changing metric associations shows a warning when you select an existing metric in a situation that will change the metric's associated model. (See Showing Metrics in Folios/Diagrams.)

  • Hide unused project folders applies to Synthesis desktop applications that use the current project explorer (i.e., Weibull++, ALTA, BlockSim, RENO, RGA, and Lambda Predict). It hides from view all folders that do not contain any project items.

• Highlight colors sets the colors used to color-code values in the following analyses:

• • Results in the FMRA in BlockSim and Xfmea/RCM++/RBI

  • Certain BlockSim plots

  • BlockSim FRED reports

  • BlockSim allocation analysis

  • Spread of failure rate contributions in a prediction folio in Lambda Predict.
