Product Tree View

The RAM Commander Product tree view is a graphical hierarchical presentation of the project’s items (Bill Of Materials, Product breakdown). Navigating through a project is very similar to navigating through any commonly used hierarchical structures, such as exploring folders in Microsoft Windows.

ProductTree

The RAM Commander Product tree view appears when you open RAM Commander project in main analysis mode (see previous paragraph - "Projects").

When you run the RAM Commander for the first time, the Product tree view opens in the Operating mode. Afterwards it opens in the analysis mode last used for a current project.

There are several analysis modes performed on the Product Tree View window:

Current Analysis	Description	Result
Operating	Reliability prediction for equipment in operating mode	Failure rate: operating
Non-operating	Reliability prediction for equipment in non-operating mode, such as storage	Failure rate: non-operating
Maintainability	Maintainability Prediction	MTTR and Mct
Derating	Derating analysis	Component stress values
FMECA	Failure modes and effects criticality analysis. Testability analysis	FMECA report

In addition to its core product analysis modes, RAM Commander has numerous modules performing many extremely important and valuable Reliability and Safety tasks (see "Modules Overview" paragraph).

There are several ways to access RAM Commander modules:

•	The Modules buttons on the Product tree view, to the left from the tree:

•	The Modules menu:

MenuModules

•	Project Overview Screen

These additional modules initiate a new window or dialog:

You may switch between all open windows and open additional projects views and module windows.

Refer to the specific chapter for more information about each module.
