|
|---|---|---|
|
|
1. Ensure that a FIDES model is selected as the model for the top-most assembly in the System Tree Items table.
|
Prediction FIDES Application Factor files are available only you have a FIDES license. In the Calculation Data pane for the top-most assembly, ensure that a FIDES model is selected for Calculation model.
|
|
|
2. Complete the Project’s Prediction FIDES Mission Profile file so that appropriate mission profiles and phases are defined.
|
The Prediction FIDES Mission Profile file stores the mission profiles and phases experienced by the system. You should complete this file prior to completing Prediction FIDES Application Factor files. For more information, see Prediction FIDES Mission Profile Files.
|
|
|
3. Create or open the Prediction FIDES Application Factor file and insert the necessary phases.
|
Create or open the Prediction FIDES Application Factor file and insert the necessary mission profile phases. For more information, see Inserting a FIDES Mission Profile.
|
|
|
4. For each phase, complete the question set shown in the Application Questions pane.
|
For each phase, complete the answer set shown in the Application Questions pane so that the Pi Application factor for this phase can be calculated. For more information, see Application Questions Pane.
|
|
|
5. Enable the Prediction FIDES Application Factor files for the appropriate assemblies and parts.
|
The Prediction FIDES Application Factor file that you select for an assembly is inherited by all lower-level assemblies and parts without an override selection. For more information, see Enabling a Prediction FIDES Application Factor File for a FIDES Assembly or Part.
