General Data Pane (Assembly)

Windchill Risk and Reliability Desktop Help > Windchill Prediction > Prediction Assembly Data > General Data Pane (Assembly)

In the General Data pane for an assembly, you supply basic information about the active assembly in the System Tree Items table. The following table describes the data fields that appear in this pane.

Field

Description

Name

The name of the assembly.

Description

A description of the assembly.

Reference designator

The reference designator for the assembly. For example, the reference designator for the top-most assembly (system) might be S1 and those for other assemblies might be A1, A2, and so on.

Part number

The part number assigned to the assembly.

CAGE code

The CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) code of the assembly. While the CAGE code is generally 5 digits, as many as 255 characters can be entered.

Remarks

Any notes or comments about the assembly.

Tagged part

When selected, indicates that the assembly is tagged. This field is generally used in Report Design files to provide for reporting on only items (parts and assemblies) that are tagged. It is generally used to indicate that the entry for the item has not yet been completed.

Repairable

When selected, the assembly is repairable. This information is used in Maintainability and RBD calculations if these modules are also in use.

Hybrid

When selected, the assembly is a hybrid, which is a component in a relatively large package that contains other parts mounted on a substrate. This checkbox is unavailable if the 217Plus or PRISM model is selected because neither of these models supports a hybrid failure rate calculation. When this checkbox is selected, the Hybrid pane for the selected model is shown so that the parameters that it requires for a hybrid failure rate calculation can be specified. For more information, see Hybrid Pane.

PCB

When selected, the assembly is a printed circuit board (PCB). This checkbox is available only if the IEC TR 62380 or RDF 2000 model is selected because only these two models support a PCB failure rate calculation. When this checkbox is selected, the PCB Data pane is shown so that the parameters that the selected model requires for a PCB failure rate calculation can be specified. For more information, see PCB Data Pane.

Quantity

The number of times this same assembly is used in the system.

Mult FR adjustment factor

A value that is multiplied by the failure rate for the assembly to calculate an adjusted failure rate.

If you use both multiplicative and additive adjustment factors, the adjusted failure rate is calculated by first multiplying the failure rate by the multiplicative adjustment factor and then adding the additive adjustment factor to that value. For more information, see Multiplicative and Additive Adjustment Factors.

Add FR adjustment factor

A value that is added to (or subtracted from) the failure rate for the assembly to calculate the adjusted failure rate. You may enter a positive or negative value.

Logistics control number (LCN)

The LCN (logistics control number) to use for the assembly when generating an LSAR (logistics support analysis record) file compatible with the MIL-STD-1388 2B format. LSAR files can also be imported in SLICwave software. The LCN is typically an 18-digit number. For more information, see Generating LSAR Files.
