Viewing FMEAs in SEP

On SEP’s FMEAs page, the Hierarchy View tab displays the system hierarchy in the left pane. The properties for the item selected in the hierarchy appear in the right pane, along with FMEAs and FMEA statistics, if applicable. (See System Hierarchy and FMEA Analysis in the XFMEA/RCM++/RBI documentation.)

• The  icon indicates that the item has an FMEA. If a change log has been activated for the FMEA, the name and status of the current version will appear in the system hierarchy, and the icon will indicate the state of the change log. (See FMEA Change Logs.)

• The icon indicates that the item is associated with an XFRACAS template part. (See SEP and XFRACAS to learn how these applications interact.)

To view the full analysis in a desktop application, click Open.

Note: The Open buttons are now only visible to users who have the "Open desktop apps from SEP web portal" permission (see Managing Security Groups).

FMEA Stats

The FMEA Stats sub-tab provides a quick, at-a-glance summary of key statistics and charts for the item that is currently selected in the system hierarchy. If you select an item that has both a system FMEA and component FMEAs, you can view a report that shows data for the system FMEA only or a report that combines data from all component FMEAs.

To learn more about this feature, see FMEA Stats (Web Summary).

Viewing Full FMEA Analyses

The FMEA sub-tab displays the full analysis for the item that is selected in the system hierarchy. To view the details of a function, failure, effect, cause, control or action, click the link (blue text).

Column Display Settings

To specify which columns — and therefore which risk ratings, metrics, etc. — will be displayed when you view any FMEA in SEP, click . This opens the Customize FMEA Columns pop-up window. You can also set the display order for the columns here by dragging them to the desired position.

• These settings are independent of, and may therefore differ from, those defined in your ReliaSoft desktop application(s).

• To restore these display settings back to the SEP defaults, open the User Preferences page and click the Restore Defaults button. (See SEP User Preferences.)

Tip: Gray text indicates that a column is unavailable for the current project.

Priority Highlights

SEP can display colors to highlight issues based on their priority. When enabled, these colors appear in the FMEA hierarchy and in query results for effects and causes (assuming the relevant column(s) are displayed). This feature uses configurable logic that is saved with each project. (See FMEA > RPNs in the XFMEA/RCM++/RBI documentation.)

To display the color highlights, select Enable priority highlights in the Customize FMEA Columns dialog box and click OK.
