The following diagram shows how the families used in System Reliability Analysis are related to one another.
Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. You can determine the direction of the each relationship definition from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.
In the above image:
Black arrows and
boxes represent entity families, relationship families, and
associated relationship definitions that are configured in the baseline
database and do not require customization for the baseline functionality
to work.
Red arrows and boxes
represent entity families, relationship families, and associated relationship
definitions that may require customization.
The System Action
box represents one of four System Action subfamilies in which records
can exist: System Condition Monitor, System Inspection, System Preventive
Maintenance, or System Special Action. The specific family that is
used will depend upon the type of Action that is created for a given
Asset or Switch element.
The Distribution
box represents one of four Distribution subfamilies in which records
can exist: Exponential, Lognormal, Normal, or Weibull record. The
specific family that is used will depend upon the distribution type
selected for the associated Risk.
Throughout this documentation,
we use the term System Reliability Analysis
to mean the combination of the root System Analysis record and all records
that are linked to it.
