If you want to override the baseline validations, you must create a flexible validation record in the RBI 580 Flexible Calculation Preferences section. For more information on creating a flexible validation record, refer to the Create a Flexible Calculation Validation topic.

If you want to override the baseline DME calculations, you must create a flexible calculation record in the RBI 580 Flexible Calculation Preferences section. For more information on creating a flexible calculation record, refer to the Create a Flexible Calculation Configuration topic.

      • Likelihood Category

      For information on creating family fields, refer to the Create a New Family Field topic.

   2. Create a datasheet in the family. For information on creating a datasheet, refer to the Create a Datasheet topic.
   3. Add the newly created fields to the datasheet in their respective sections as described in the following table.

      Input Fields	Output Fields
      Date in Service	Age
      	Likelihood Category

      For information on adding fields to a datasheet, refer to the Add Fields to a Datasheet topic.

2. Create a One-to-Many relationship definition between the RBI Criticality Analysis family (Predecessor family) and the Criticality Configured Creep DME family (successor family). For more information on creating a relationship definition, refer to the Create a Relationship Definition topic.
3. Create a new Degradation Mechanism (Creep). For information on creating Degradation Mechanisms, refer to the Create Degradation Mechanisms topic.
4. Create a Potential Degradation Mechanism.
5. Create a validation policy to perform the validations on the input field. For detailed steps on creating the validation policy, refer to the Create a Sample Validation Policy topic.
6. Create a calculation policy to update the output fields based on the value in the input field. For detailed steps on creating the calculation policy, refer to the Create a Sample Calculation Policy topic.
7. Configure the output fields in the Output Preferences section in RBI Application settings. For more information on configuring output preferences, refer to the Configure DME Output Preferences.
8. Create a flexible validation record in the RBI Application Settings with the following settings:
   • Analysis Family: RBI Criticality Analysis
   • Action: Degradation Mechanism Evaluation Validation
   • Action Family: Criticality Configured Creep DME
   • Policy Name: Select the validation policy created in step 4.

   For more information on validation configuration, refer to the Create a Flexible Calculation Validation topic.

9. Create a flexible calculation configuration in the RBI Application Settings with the following settings:

1. Create a Policy with the name Configured CE Validation Policy.
2. Configure an Entity node to represent the Configured Consequence Evaluation family.
3. Configure an Is Null node and map the value in the Production Loss field of the Configured Consequence Evaluation family.
4. Set the output value of the Is Null node to -1.
   
   
   
5. Map the output of the Is Null node to the input of the Equal node.
6. Configure the Equal node such that:
   • If the value in the Production Loss field is null, a Return Value node is triggered to display an error message indicating that Production Loss is a required field.
     
     
     
   • If the value in the Production Loss field is not null, the output is mapped to the Less Than node.
     
     
     
7. Configure the Less Than node such that if the value in the Production Loss field is less than zero, a Return Value node displays an error message indicating that the value must not be less than zero.
   
   
   
8. Save the policy.
   The validation policy is created.

   
   
   

This topic describes the general steps that you need to perform to configure the calculations as part of the scenario. For detailed information on creating and configuring a policy, refer to the Policy Designer documentation.

1. Create a Policy with the name Configured DME Calculation Policy.
2. Configure an Entity node (DME) to represent the Criticality Configured Creep DME family.
3. Add a Query node and map the DME Entity node to the Query node.
4. Configure the Query node to the query created for Age calculation.
   
   
   
   The value in the Age field is configured to be updated based on the value in the Date in Service field.
5. Add a Less Than or Equal node and configure it such that if the value in the Age field is less than or equal to 1, it triggers an Edit Entity node. Configure the Edit Entity node to update the value in the Likelihood Category as 5.
   
   
   
6. Similarly, configure the other calculations by adding Less Than or Equal nodes and the corresponding Edit Entity nodes.
7. Save the policy.
   The calculation policy is created.
