Calculation Data for Siemens Model
The following form is shown in the Calculation Data pane when the Siemens SN 29500 v1 model is either inherited or selected for Calculation model.
The following table describes the data fields in the Calculation Data pane for the Siemens model. Field availability depends on selections made in various fields.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The name assigned to the assembly in the System Tree Items table. |
Calculation model | The reliability prediction standard or model to use to compute the predicted failure rate of the assembly. Choices include all licensed models. As described in Model Selection, a lower-level assembly inherits the model selected for its parent assembly, but when the Siemens model is selected, you can specify an override model, which child items also inherit. |
Temperature | The operating temperature of the assembly in degrees C. For more information, see Operating Temperature. |
Temperature delta | A temperature adjustment value in degrees C. This value is added to the operating temperature to get the ambient/environment/case temperature, depending on which is appropriate for the model selected. While this field is unavailable for the top-most assembly (system), it is available for all lower-level assemblies. |
Temperature, dormant | The temperature of the assembly or part in degrees C when it is not in operation. |
Duty cycle | The percentage of time that the assembly is in an active state. For more information, see Duty Cycle. |
 | The subsequent fields specify whether assembly results are calculated or specified. For more information, see Calculation Data for Specifying Whether Assembly Results are Calculated or Specified. |
