Product Tree window displays product tree and vertical button bar.

 

Vertical button bar "Current Analysis" section buttons allow switching the product tree from one analysis type (such as Reliability, Maintainability or FMECA) to another. "Modules" section buttons allow opening additional windows for other analysis types such as RBD, FTA, Safety etc.

 

Product tree viewer displays the bill of materials. Initially it displays the first level only, but user may open all its sub-levels hierarchically by pressing "+" and "-" buttons. Product tree items may be created, edited, deleted, copied to another location or another project. User may search for items, perform "global change" operations, copy values from one field to another and more.

 

Product Tree consists of Items - components and assemblies. Assemblies are those items to which children or other components can be added. Components are items that cannot have children added to them.

In the Product tree view, RAM Commander displays a icon next to assembly items. For component items, RAM Commander displays the relevant component icon.

 

The next paragraphs of this section will explain the navigation in the product tree.
