Analysis Workbooks

You can add a new analysis workbook to a project by choosing Insert > Reports and Plots > Analysis Workbook.

Analysis Workbook Wizard

When you create a new analysis workbook in an existing project, the Analysis Workbook Wizard will appear.

Use the Default Data Source field to specify an analysis that will serve as the default data source for functions in the analysis workbook. Click Select to open a window that will allow you to select an analysis. In Weibull++ or ALTA, you can select any data sheet in a standard folio, a degradation folio or a non-parametric LDA folio. (Note that if you select a data sheet in a degradation folio or a non-parametric LDA folio, the results will be based on the Weibull++ or ALTA standard folio that would be created if you transferred the data to that folio type and not on the base folio.) In BlockSim note that the results model used for the data source is specified in the Report folio model field on the Analysis Settings page of the diagram control panel. For analytical diagrams, you can base report results on either the analytical results or the fitted model; for simulation and phase diagrams, you can base report results on either the simulation results or the fitted model.

Selecting a default data source allows you to create a custom report that can be applied to other analyses as it populates the Data Source Index drop-down list in the Function Wizard that you can use when building functions. Note that you always have the option to choose any other analysis in the current project, but the reference will be specifically to that analysis.

Choose Based on Existing Template if you want to choose a predefined template to base the analysis workbook on instead of starting with a blank analysis workbook.
- Choose Standard if you want to use one of the standard templates that are shipped with the software.
- Choose User if you want to use one of the analysis workbooks that you have previously defined. You can save any report that you create as a template by choosing Workbook > Worksheet > Save Report as Template.
