FMEA Diagrams

There are four types of diagrams that can be used in conjunction with your FMEAs:

• FMEA Block Diagrams
• Process Flow Diagrams
• Cause and Effect Diagrams
• Failure Relationship Diagrams

You can choose to work with these diagrams on-the-fly, or save them with the analysis. When a diagram has been saved for a particular system hierarchy item, an icon will be displayed in the hierarchy if the relevant column is enabled for your computer/username.

Depending on the diagram type, you can choose to build the diagram automatically from selected analysis data and/or customize the presentation by adding/modifying blocks, connectors, annotations, etc. These diagrams support many of the same features for building diagrams and customizing appearance settings that are available in BlockSim and other ReliaSoft applications.
