Publishing Models from R-DOE Results

You can publish reliability DOE (R-DOE) results as a model resource for use throughout the project. To publish a model based on R-DOE results, click the Publish Model icon on the Publishing page of the design folio or free form folio control panel. (Note that the Publishing page is available only when the selected response is configured as life data.)

At this point, you need to provide the factor settings that will be used to solve for the scale parameter of the published model. In the window that appears, choose the tool that will solve for the scale parameter. Two tools are available:

• The Prediction window lets you directly enter the factor level combination. Just enter the factor values in the green factor columns, perform the prediction and click the Publish Model button on the control panel. The resulting model will be based on the factor level combination you selected in the table. (To select a combination, click any cell in the row that contains that combination.)
• The Optimal Solution Plot helps you find the factor level combination that produces the best response value(s). After you perform the optimization, select the solution you wish to use in the Solutions area on the control panel, then click the Publish Model button on the control panel.

After you choose to publish the prediction or optimal solution, the Publish Model window will appear, allowing you to specify the model name and the model category. Click OK to publish the model.

All other tools for working with the published model, such as displaying its properties and tracing its usage, are on the Publishing page of the control panel for the R-DOE analysis.
