Selecting Current Analysis

There are 5 analysis types based on the same product tree:

Analysis	Description	Examples	Result
Operating	Reliability prediction for equipment in operating mode	Airplane in flight, communications board operating	Failure rate–operating
Non-operating	Reliability prediction for equipment in non-operating mode, such as storage	Airplane in storage; communications board waiting for signal	Failure rate– non-operating
Maintainability	Maintainability prediction	Airplane and communications board under maintenance	MTTR and Mct
Derating	Derating Analysis	Components' electrical stress conditions	Component stress values
FMECA	Failure modes and effects criticality analysis, Testability analysis	What happens when a failure occurs in one of the system items and how this failure is detected	Criticality, Coverage and Fault Isolation

Product tree is opened in the Operating Reliability analysis type by default. Changing the analysis type changes product tree presentation (relevant fields are shown, like FR, or MTTR and Mct etc.). The list of available reports is also affected by the selected analysis type.

To select the current analysis method

1.	Open a Product tree view by selecting the project from the project list and pressing F2 (or right-click and Open).

2.	Select the Current analysis method from the Product tree view button bar.
