FMEA Support Files Overview
The following table describes the support files for the FMEA module. You can open or create these file only when this module is in use.
Support File
Description
FMEA Design
Defines the hierarchical relationship between the data levels in the FMEA Worksheet table. It also defines the key fields and data fields for the Project’s FMEA Fault Equivalence file. The FMEA Design file is a singular support file. For more information, see FMEA Design Files.
FMEA Fault Equivalence
Stores the FMEA data to copy into the FMEA Worksheet table based on the matching of data in as many as five key fields. The FMEA Fault Equivalence file is a singular support file. For more information, see FMEA Fault Equivalence Files.
FMEA Modes Library
Stores the failure modes for individual part types. When you insert a component FMEA, you indicate whether you want to insert failure modes for parts in the FMEA tree from the enabled FMEA Modes Library files. For more information, see FMEA Modes Library Files.
FMEA Risk Matrix
Defines the risk matrix settings for classifying potential failure modes according to their severity and probability of occurrence. Considering criticality in your analysis results in a FMECA. For more information, see FMEA Risk Matrix Files.
Mission Profile
Stores the total mission time of the system as well as information about each of the different mission phases in which the system operates. The Mission Profile is a singular support file. It can be used with both the FMEA and Prediction modules. For more information, see Mission Profile Files.
