Import a Reliability Growth Analysis

You can create new Asset elements by importing existing Reliability Growth Analyses into a Diagram. You can import one or multiple analyses in a single operation. One Asset element will be created for each record that you import, and a new System Asset record will be created to store information for that element. Fields from the Reliability Growth record will be mapped to the System Asset record, as described in the Results section.

This topic describes how to add an element by importing a Reliability Growth Analysis. You can also add an element directly to a diagram.

Steps

Access the Diagram within which you want to import a Reliability Growth Analysis.
In the Import section, select .

A list of available Reliability Growth Analyses appears.
Select check box to the left of the Reliability Growth Analysis that you want to import.

Tip: You can select more than one Reliability Growth Analysis.
In the upper-right corner of the workspace, select Import.

A new Asset element is added to the Diagram for each selected Reliability Growth Analysis.

Results

When you import an existing Reliability Growth record into the Diagram, a new System Asset record is created, and information from the imported record is mapped to the System Asset record. Information is also mapped to System Risk and Distribution records, which are created when a record is imported and linked to the System Asset record.

The following table contains the values that are imported from fields in a Reliability Growth record and the System Analysis record and fields to which they are mapped. All other values in System Analysis records are populated automatically with default values.

Note: If you import an asset and import the Reliability Growth Analysis associated with that asset, all of the fields in the following table will be mapped except the Analysis ID field. The Analysis ID field will not be mapped to the Name field in the System Asset record.

Reliability Growth Record Field	System Analysis Record	System Analysis Record Field	Notes
Analysis ID	System Asset	Name	None
Analysis ID	System Risk	Name	None
Short Description	Distribution	Short Description	This value is mapped to the TTF Distribution record that is linked to the System Risk record and appears in the TTF column in the Risks section.
Final MTBF	Exponential	MTBF	This value is mapped to the TTF Distribution record that is linked to the System Risk record and appears in the TTF column in the Risks section.
Time Units	Distribution	Units	This value is mapped to the TTF Distribution record that is linked to the System Risk record and appears in the TTF column in the Risks section.
