Add Degradation Mechanisms (DMs)

For each Potential Degradation Mechanism (PDM) linked to the Component, a DM is added to the Analysis. You can, however, add additional DMs to the analysis.

Note: You cannot add a DM if the state of the analysis is Risk Completed.

Steps

Access the analysis to which you want to add DMs.
In the workspace, select the Degradation Mechanisms tab.

The Degradation Mechanisms section appears, displaying a list of DMs associated with the analysis.
In the upper-left corner of the section, select .

A list of the DMs that can be applied to the RBI Criticality Analysis appears, displaying the methodology type of each DM.

Tip: If you select the link that corresponds to a DM, the associated PDM record appears in Record Explorer on a new page.
In the row containing each DM that you want to add, select the check box, and then select Add.

The selected DMs are added to the RBI Criticality Analysis.

Results

A Consequence Evaluation is created and linked to the RBI Criticality Analysis.
