When you select LCC > Link to Block Diagram in the Calculate window, you can select the block diagram to use as the source for RBD fields used in LCC equations.

• If no block diagrams exist in the System file, the Link to Block Diagram page is not shown.

• If block diagrams do exist in the System file, the Link to Block Diagram page always appears, regardless as to whether or not the RDB module is in use.

The following table provides column descriptions.

Column	Description
Alternative	The design alternatives in the LCC Variables file. This column is display-only. In the first row, All Alternatives is shown. When you specify a data link to a block diagram for this row, the values for all alternatives are obtained from this diagram. However, if you specify a data link for a specific alternative in a subsequent row, the diagram selected for that row overrides the data link specified for All Alternatives.
RBD	The block diagram to use as the source for RBD fields in LCC equations. When you click in this column, a drop-down control becomes visible. Clicking this control opens a window in which you can select from all block diagrams inserted in the System file. Clicking a block diagram selects it and closes this window. Data values for the block diagram are used for fields in LCC equations. For example, assume that your equations use the following fields: Reliability and Availability. For this block diagram, data values for these fields are obtained and used in the equations.
