    • Risk Discovery Summary (with Questions) presents the answers given to questions in the risk discovery analysis, if any.
    • Risk Discovery Summary (with Ratings) presents the risk discovery ratings specified in the risk discovery analysis, if any.
    • Risk Discovery Details (One per Item) presents a separate report for each selected item showing the answers given to the risk discovery questions and the risk discovery ratings specified in the risk discovery analysis.
  • P-Diagram
    • P-Diagram (One per Item) presents a separate report for each Parameter Diagram (P-Diagram) that has been defined for the selected items.
  • PFD Spreadsheet
    • PFD Standard presents the process flow diagrams (PFD) data, if any, in the traditional tabular format. Reports will be generated only for selected items that have an associated PFD analysis.
  • PFD Records. There are no standard report forms for PFD records. This category may contain any relevant custom report templates and/or any custom queries that you have created.
  • FMEA Spreadsheet presents the FMEA data in the traditional tabular format. The number of separate forms generated will depend on the items selected in the Select Items area. (See Sub-Item Data Combined or Separated.)
    • FMEA Standard creates an FMEA spreadsheet that includes information from the most basic elements of most FMEAs. This is a very basic style and should only be used when you are not required to meet published guidelines for the current profile.
    • AIAG-VDA creates an FMEA spreadsheet that is consistent with the examples published in the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook released in 2019. The AIAG-VDA w/ MSR form adds information for Supplemental FMEA for Monitoring and System Response (FMEA-MSR).
    • AIAG Form A through AIAG Form E create FMEA spreadsheets that are consistent with the examples published in the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) guidelines.
    • J1739 (2002), J1739 (2009) and J1739 (2021) create FMEA spreadsheets that are consistent with the examples published in the 2002, 2009 and 2021 revisions of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) guidelines. The J1739 (2021) w/ MSR form adds information for Supplemental FMEA for Monitoring and System Response (FMEA-MSR).
    • MIL-STD-1629A creates an FMEA spreadsheet that is consistent with the example published in the military standard.
    • VDA-86 and VDA-96 create FMEA spreadsheets that are consistent with the examples published in the VDA Volume 4 guidelines used by the German automotive industry.
    • Alpha/Beta Worksheet presents a report based on the Alpha/Beta Ratios worksheet for each selected item, provided it has alpha values specified.
    • SIL Allocation Analysis presents a report showing the data associated with determining the required Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for each safety function.

Tip: In addition to the predefined spreadsheets, you can also export the FMEA data by choosing System Hierarchy > Tools > Reporting > Send Active View to Excel or Export to Excel.

  • FMEA Records
    • VDA Action Tracking presents an actions summary report configured to match the "Action Tracking" template in the VDA Volume 4 guidelines used by the German automotive industry.
    • Action Details (One per Action) presents a separate report for each action that has been defined for the selected items. If this report form is selected for inclusion in the generated report, the Select Actions for Detail Report window will appear when you click Generate Report.
    • Functions, Failures, Effects, Causes, Controls and Actions are available only if the default Standard templates file is selected in the Templates Manager. They are report templates that were created by ReliaSoft and saved in the default Standard templates file, XRUT.xrt23, which is located by default in your My Documents folder (e.g., C:\Users\<your USERNAME>\My Documents\ReliaSoft\Common).
  • Criticality reports present the results from the various available types of criticality analysis.
    • Criticality Analysis (Standard) presents the quantitative criticality analysis in a tabular format that is based on MIL-STD-1629A but includes some modifications to the header information and uses customized column headings.
    • Criticality Analysis (MIL-STD Quantitative) and Criticality Matrix (MIL-STD Quantitative) present the quantitative criticality analysis in a format that is based on MIL-STD-1629A. For the matrix, Severity Classification is on the horizontal axis and Mode Criticality is on the vertical axis.
    • Criticality Analysis (MIL-STD Qualitative) and Criticality Matrix (MIL-STD Qualitative) present the qualitative criticality analysis in a format that is based on MIL-STD-1629A. For the matrix, Severity Classification is on the horizontal axis and Failure Probability is on the vertical axis.
    • Criticality Ranks presents the items and failure modes, ranked by item criticality and then by mode criticality.
  • RCM (available only for RCM++)
    • Functional Failure Analysis presents the functions, functional failures, effects and causes (failure modes) that have been identified for all selected items.
    • Failure Effect Categorization (One per Effect) presents a separate report for each failure effect showing the FEC logic diagram decisions, along with any notes/remarks.
    • Maintenance Task Selection (One per Cause) presents a separate report for each maintenance task that has been defined for the selected items.
    • Tasks is available only if the default Standard templates file is selected in the Templates Manager. It is a report template that was created by ReliaSoft and saved in the default Standard templates file, XRUT.xrt23, which is located by default in your My Documents folder (e.g., C:\Users\<your USERNAME>\My Documents\ReliaSoft\Common). It lists the tasks and related details that have been defined for the selected items.

Note: This report includes properties from the higher-level records (i.e., the cause and item) that the task is associated with. This means that the same task may be repeated in the report if it is used multiple times. To generate a report that lists unique tasks only, you can create a query using the "FMEA Cause Tasks" group that only includes properties that belong to the task records. You can then use that query as a report.

  • Control Plan Spreadsheet
    • Control Plan Standard presents control plan data, if any, in the traditional tabular format. Reports will be generated only for selected items that have an associated control plan analysis.
  • Control Plan Records. There are no standard report forms for control plan records. This category may contain any relevant custom report templates and/or any custom queries that you have created.
  • Test Plan. There are no standard report forms for test plans. This category may contain any relevant custom report templates and/or any custom queries that you have created.
  • DVP&R Spreadsheet
    • DVP&R Standard presents design verification plan data, if any, in the traditional tabular format. Reports will be generated only for selected items that have an associated DVP&R analysis.
  • DVP&R Records. There are no standard report forms for DVP&R records. This category may contain any relevant custom report templates and/or any custom queries that you have created.
  • DRBFM Spreadsheet
    • DRBFM Standard presents design review based on failure mode analysis data, if any, in the traditional tabular format. Reports will be generated only for selected items that have an associated DRBFM analysis.
  • DRBFM Records. There are no standard report forms for DRBFM records. This category may contain any relevant custom report templates and/or any custom queries that you have created.
