NPRD Parts Requiring Failure Rate Conversions
When a part is inserted from an NPRD Library, the Prediction Data pane generally displays a failure rate that indicates the number of failures per million hours. However, if Uses Miles/Hour or Uses Cycles/Hour is selected, the failure rate indicates the failures per million miles or failures per million cycles. In such cases, you must enter a miles-per-hour value in Miles/Hour or a cycles-per-hour value in Cycles/Hour to convert the failure rate to failures per million hours. Only the NPRD 2011 Library has parts with failure rates expressed in failures per million cycles. For more information, see Inserting an NPRD Library Part into a System File.
