Criticality & Reliability Editor

Assigning failure rates to an item is a vital part of calculating the reliability of

a system. More item failures in a system fail lead to less overall system reliability.

The Reliability editor enables the user to set the failure rate of any component or part.

Failure rate parameters are entered from two locations in the RAM module:

• Criticality & Reliability Editor
• Properties Viewer

To enter failure rates in the Reliability editor:

1. Select "Analyses" in the Main Menu
2. Select "Criticality & Reliability Editor"
3. Select Reliability from the Element Selection drop-down menu
4. Select a component or part in the system tree (e.g. Control Unit)
5. Enter data in General Reliability & Failure Distribution sections
