Building FTA Diagrams
Please note several important facts about RAM Commander FTA module:
• | Each RAM Commander project may contain multiple (unlimited number) of diagrams. |
• | Diagrams may be connected to each other using Transfer gates (each tree may contain Sub-Trees, which are referenced in the main tree using "Transfer" gates). |
• | All diagrams in the same project use the same basic events library. |
After initiation of FTA module, list of FTA diagrams appear. Select an existing diagram or choose to create a new diagram and press Ok. Then FTA diagram window will appear.
Each FTA diagram window displays single Fault Tree. You may open several FTA windows simultaneously and switch between them.
A diagram consists of gates, events and remark items - you may create, edit, delete, copy&paste these diagram elements. Use the available options (scrolling, zooming, opening sub-trees, etc.) to obtain the best possible view of the diagram. A more in-depth explanation of each option is provided later in this chapter.
