Plot Wizard

The Plot Wizard is used in conjunction with Word report templates and generates a variety of plots based on your inputs and, when applicable, a referenced analysis. To open the Plot Wizard, choose Home > Report > Plot Wizard. You can also click the Plot Wizard icon on the Word report template’s control panel.

The Plot Wizard window with its components is shown next.

To add a plot using the Plot Wizard, follow the steps below:

1. In the Plot Category drop-down list, select to either display plots of a specific category only or display all plots in the plot list. The types of plots available in the Plot Wizard are:

• • Weibull++ and ALTA plots:

  • • Common plots, which can be used with any applicable folio (e.g., the Failure Rate vs. Time plot and the Reliability vs. Time plot).

    • Weibull++ plots, which can be used with any applicable Weibull++ folio (e.g., the Contour plot and the F/S Pie plot).

    • ALTA plots, which can be used with any applicable ALTA folio (e.g., the Cox-Snell Residuals plot and the Use Level Probability plot).

    • Degradation plots, which can be used with any degradation folio, are the Degradation vs. Time (Linear) plot and the Degradation vs. Time (Log) plot.

  • BlockSim plots:

  • • Analytical System plots, which can be used with any analytical diagram (e.g., the Failure Rate vs. Time plot and the Pdf vs. Time plot).

    • Analytical Metrics plots, which is the Static RI plot that can be used with any analytical diagram.

    • Simulation System plots, which can be used with any simulation diagram (e.g., the Mean Availability plot and the System Failures plot).

    • Simulation Metrics plots, which can be used with any simulation diagram (e.g., the RS DECI plot and the RS FCI Tableau plot).

The Plot List displays the available plots in alphabetical order based on your selection in the plot category drop-down list.

2. Click a plot to select it. The area on the right side of the Plot Wizard displays a description of the selected plot and information about what the plot returns.
3. Select which data source to use. In the Data Source Index list select an option with the numbers corresponding to the order of the data sources as selected in the Associate Data Sources window.
4. For ALTA stress-dependent plots, use the Stress Column field to select which stress column will be varied while the other stress columns are held constant.
5. Click Insert to add the plot to the report.
