Session 1.3: Environment Profiles

Note: This training deck is primarily composed of instructional screenshots (numbered dialog boxes, toolbar callouts, field highlights). The text below preserves all extractable slide text — titles, bullet points, discussion/exercise headings, and table content. Where a slide is dominated by an unlabeled screenshot, only the caption and step-list text could be extracted; screenshot visual detail itself is not represented.

Session 1.3: Environment Profiles

DISCUSSION 1.3.1 ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILES: SYSTEM BASELINE

Environmental profiles are divided into System Baseline & Mission Phase / Segment-specific

   System Baseline: Intended environment that the system is designed to operate within
   Mission-Based: Actual environment experienced during a Mission Profile

Each environmental profile includes the impact of environmental factors likely to be encountered

   E.g. Acceleration, Pressure, Contamination etc.
   This information is useful in determining the system susceptibility to these factors

System Baseline is accessed from the Advanced Properties editor but relates to Mission Profile
