This topic describes how to associate distribution data from existing Reliability Distribution Analyses and Reliability Growth Analyses to Risks. You can also define distribution data for Risks manually.
When you associate existing distribution data with Risks, you use data stored in a Reliability Growth or Reliability Distribution Analysis in a system.
After existing distribution data has been associated with a Risk, you can update the information periodically. When you associate the distribution data, the Entity Key and Family Key of the Reliability Distribution and Reliability Growth Analysis are stored in the System Risk record, thereby establishing a connection between the two records that allows for future updates. This way your System Reliability Analysis uses the most current information available to calculate the simulation results.
Steps
Access the Risk to which you want to associate existing Distributions data.
In the grid, locate the row that contains the Risk with which you want to associate Distribution data.
In the upper-right corner of the grid, select Associate Distribution.
The Search window appears, where you can search for a Reliability Growth Analysis or Reliability Distribution Analysis whose distribution data you want to associate with a Risk.
Perform a search to locate your desired analysis.
A list of analyses based on the search criteria appears.
Select the analysis with the failure distribution information that you want to associate with the Risk, and then select OK.
The distribution data from the selected record is imported, and a connection is established between the Risk and the selected Reliability Growth Analysis or Reliability Distribution Analysis.
