Building the L/HIRF Hierarchy

Projects that use MSG-3 guidelines that support identification of L/HIRF Significant Items (LHSIs) — i.e., Revision 2015 Vol 1 (LHSI Identification) or Revision 2015 Vol 2 (LHSI Identification) — are considered LHSI projects. If your project uses one of these guideline versions, there will be a separate L/HIRF hierarchy, which allows you to identify LHSIs for ATA systems and/or subsystems; L/HIRF environmental damage/accidental damage (ED/AD) analyses can be performed for these LHSIs. To access the L/HIRF hierarchy, click the L/HIRF Hierarchy tab on the System panel.

In the L/HIRF Hierarchy tab, there can be no more than three levels in the hierarchy (system, subsystem and LHSI), and the first two levels must be selected from a predefined list of ATA chapters (systems) and sections (subsystems) that are stored in the database.

Each item has properties associated with it, which are viewed and edited on the Properties tab of the Analysis panel when the item is selected.

Available Columns

The following columns are displayed in the L/HIRF hierarchy:

Adding Systems and Subsystems

For compliance with the ATA numbering guidelines, the available system and subsystems have been predefined for the database. (See Managing ATA Chapters.)

Both commands open windows that display the list of systems/subsystems that have been predefined for this database. Use the check boxes to select one or more items to add to the hierarchy and click OK.

Note that each system/subsystem can be used only once per project. So if the item already exists in the current system configuration, the text will be grayed out and you will not be able to select it.

The command to add subsystems will be disabled if at least one LHSI has already been defined for the parent item. LHSIs can be added under any type of record (system or subsystem), but they must always be the lowest level in any particular branch of the hierarchy.

Adding L/HIRF Significant Items

LHSIs are not predefined for the database. Instead, you have the flexibility to create these records as needed for your particular analysis.

There is no limit to the number of LHSIs that you can add for the same subsystem, and you can use any number for the # field as long as it is unique among the LHSIs associated with that item.

Deleting

To delete an item from any MPC hierarchy, select the hierarchy item and press DELETE. The hierarchy item will be deleted, along with all dependents and all associated attachments. There is no undo for deleting an item or the entire hierarchy.

Cutting/Copying

You can cut or copy items in any MPC hierarchy and paste them to the same project or to another project within the same database. (Please note that if you want to share hierarchy items between different databases, you must use the import/export functionality instead.) To select multiple hierarchy items for cut or copy:

or

After you select the hierarchy items, you can use the standard keyboard shortcuts for cut/copy (CTRL+X and CTRL+C) or you can choose Home > Clipboard > Cut and Home > Clipboard > Copy. When a hierarchy item is cut or copied, all dependents will also be cut or copied, along with any attachments.

Pasting

To paste items that you have cut or copied from any MPC hierarchy, press CTRL+V or choose Home > Clipboard > Paste. Note the following:

Importing

It is easy to import any entire hierarchy (or selected items) from any project in the same database or another selected database. (See Importing MPC Hierarchies Between Projects.)
