Synthesis Resources

In Synthesis applications except MPC, resources contain various types of information that can be shared between analyses. Resources may be created in one application and then shared with other Synthesis applications where they may be relevant. When the resource is updated with new information, the change is reflected in all analyses that rely upon it.

An example of a Synthesis resource is a model that represents a product's probability of operating successfully over time. The model may be defined manually or published from an application such as Weibull++/ALTA, RGA or Lambda Predict. Then it can be used in applications such as BlockSim, Xfmea, RCM++ or RBI as part of the universal reliability definition (URD) of a particular component/assembly.

Note: In a secure database, the ability to create, edit and delete resources is available only if the user a) is the project owner, b) has the applicable "resources" permissions, or c) has the applicable "manage projects" permissions.
