Creating a Custom Graph
The Graph Wizard enables you to easily create custom graphs of your System data. This wizard walks you through a series of questions about the graph you want to create. You can save graph settings to a Graph Template file so that you can quickly recreate this same graph at a later time.
1. Select Tools > Graph Wizard. The Graph Wizard starts and displays the Load Graph Template page.
2. Select Create a custom graph and click Next. The Prediction Graph Type page appears.
3. Select Calculation result by System Tree item (uses last calculation result) and click Next. The Select Calculation page appears.
4. Select Failure Rate, Predicted and click Next. The Filter Data page appears.
5. Select Graph only assemblies and click Next. The Graph Options page appears. The default type is a cylinder bar graph.
6. For Graph title, enter My Prediction Graph.
7. Select the Pareto checkbox. Leave all other checkboxes cleared.
8. Click Next. The Save Graph Template page appears.
9. To save the settings to a Graph Template file, do the following:
a. For File name, click the browse button . A window opens, listing all existing Graph Template files.
b. Click <Create new file> and enter My Prediction Graph.
c. Click the green checkmark .
d. Make sure that the Create corresponding Report Design file checkbox is cleared.
10. Click Next. The Wizard Complete page appears.
11. Click Finish to generate the graph.
The resulting graph shows the assemblies in your system ordered by overall failure rate. From this graph, you can see which assemblies contribute the most to overall system failure rate.
