After a simulation diagram or RENO flowchart has been simulated, you can view the results in the Simulation Results Explorer. To access these results from the Maintainability/Availability Simulation window or the RENO Simulation window, click the Details button. To access from within any simulation diagram, click the Show Simulation Details (...) icon on the control panel or choose Simulation > Tools > Show Simulation Details.
The navigation panel on the left side of the window shows which results are available from the current simulation. Click any node to display those specific results in the worksheet on the right.
Note the following:
New simulation results replace all previous results and only the most recent results are saved with the diagram. If you wish to store the current results and then resimulate, you can use the Transfer Report command to send the results to an analysis workbook or to Excel before you start the next simulation.
For BlockSim diagrams, if you selected to perform multiple simulations, some of the results (e.g., expected number of failures, etc.) will be decimals because they are averaged across all simulations. If you selected to perform one simulation, those results will be whole numbers.
Time Units:
For BlockSim diagrams, simulation results that are time-based (e.g., downtime, time to event, etc.) are given in terms of the time unit that is specified in the Unit group of the Ribbon. You can select a different time unit from this drop-down list at any time and the results will automatically be converted to the new time unit.
For RENO flowcharts, all results are given in terms of the system base unit (SBU). (See Using Time Units in RENO.)
In addition to standard commands for cut, copy, paste, clear and print, the Ribbon in the Simulation Results Explorer also provides the following:
Show Expanded Block
Name applies only for subdiagram blocks. It displays the name of
the diagram represented by a subdiagram block in the Block Name column.
Freeze Block Name
Column freezes the Block Name column in the worksheet so that it
remains visible as you scroll to the right to view additional columns.
If not selected, the Block Name column may not remain visible, depending
on your screen resolution and the sizing of the window.
Set Colors
opens the Set Report Colors window,
which allows you to set the fill and colors for worksheet elements such
as column titles, sub-headings, etc. These settings are defined separately
for BlockSim diagrams and for RENO flowcharts, and apply to all diagrams
of that type.
Insert Worksheet
inserts a new, blank worksheet where you can perform any calculations
desired. Note that this worksheet will not be retained when you close
the Simulation Results Explorer.
Transfer Report
allows you to send the contents of the Simulation Results Explorer to
an analysis workbook or to Excel. In the Transfer Report window that appears,
"current item" refers to the simulation results worksheet that
is currently selected, while "full report" refers to all worksheets
in the Simulation Results Explorer. If you have simulated a phase diagram,
the results that are transferred for "current item" or "current
phase" are based on your selection in the Phase group of the Ribbon,
while "full report" refers to all phases.
Full Report
opens all of the currently available worksheets in separate tabs in the
Simulation Results Explorer. You can then use either the navigation panel
or the tabs to switch between worksheets.
Sheet Options
opens the Sheet Options window,
which allows you to specify the appearance of the current worksheet and
which options are allowed within it. Note that your selections will not
be retained when you close the Simulation Results Explorer.
Send Selection to
Weibull++ sends the selected data to a standard folio in Weibull++.
You must have Weibull++ activated on your computer in order to view the
resulting standard folio. To use this functionality, one or two columns
of data must be selected in the worksheet.
Send RDA Results
to Weibull++ is available only for BlockSim diagrams. It transfers
the data in the RDA Data worksheet
to a Weibull++ parametric RDA folio within the current project. If Weibull++
is installed on your computer, you can then perform parametric recurrent
event data analysis on the data set. The parametric RDA folio uses the
General Renewal Process (GRP) model to analyze the failure behavior of
a repairable system. The GRP analysis method takes into account the effectiveness
of repairs on the condition of the system, and models the cumulative number
of failures over time.
Send RGA Results
to RGA is available only for BlockSim diagrams. It transfers the
data in the RGA Data worksheet
to an RGA folio using the Multiple Systems - Concurrent Operating Times
data type within the current project. If RGA is installed on your computer,
you can then perform reliability growth analysis on the data set.
For BlockSim diagrams only, the units drop-down list allows you to specify the time units used for the simulation results. When you choose a new time unit, the software performs the unit conversion automatically. Authorized users can define the time units that will be available in the database and set up the conversion factors.
For BlockSim phase diagrams only, the phase drop-down list allows you to select the phase that you want to view simulation results for. You can select an individual phase or select Overall to view results for all phases.
