217Plus Predictions
This chapter focuses on the software features that apply specifically to using the 217Plus prediction standard. For general information about using the prediction folio for any type of standard (e.g., how to create folios, build system configurations, etc.), see Prediction Folios.
What's Changed? The 217Plus standard is available starting in Version 2026.1.
217PlusTM is a methodology for assessment of system reliability using reliability prediction methods. The current implementation follows the 217PlusTM:2015, Notice 1 version of 217PlusTM that is based upon the edition of the Handbook of 217PlusTM Reliability Prediction Models dated 15 January 2017 (HDBK-217Plus:2015 Notice 1).
The following topics are discussed:
- 217Plus Calculations
- Using saved pi factor assessments to set properties in a particular 217Plus analysis.
- Updating the pi factors in a particular prediction folio that were set based on saved pi factor assessments.
- Managing the predefined 217Plus settings that are saved in the current database for use in any 217Plus analysis.
