Functions

To add a function to the FMEA, choose FMEA > FMEA Records > Functions.

Note: You can specify for a default function to be created for all new items added to the System panel by choosing File > Application Setup and selecting the Create Default Function for New Items option on the Settings page of the Application Setup.

To insert a new function above the selected function, choose FMEA > FMEA Records > Functions > Insert Function.

To edit an existing function in the FMEA, either edit it directly in the worksheet view or use the properties window. To open the properties window, select the function and choose FMEA > FMEA Records > Functions > Edit Function or double-click the function in the hierarchy or filtered view.

Function Properties Window

Note: The fields that are enabled in the interface and the options available in configurable drop-down lists will depend on the interface style settings that have been defined for the current project. You can choose Project > Management > Configurable Settings > Interface Style to open the Edit Interface Style (This Project) window and change the settings for the current project.

When adding a function, in addition to the options common to all FMEA record properties windows, you will need to define the function properties.

In the Function area the following fields may be available:

Tip: If you need to define the reliability/maintainability characteristics for this record, use the FMRA tab. These characteristics will be applicable if you wish to perform criticality analysis, use the FMEA occurrence ratings to calculate a preliminary baseline estimate of the system reliability, share system configuration/reliability data between RCM++ and BlockSim or perform RCM cost/availability calculations.
