Filtering Dynamic Effects with Classes to remove Non detectable effects

 

Feature Description

 
Analysts should understand the use of Classes to use this feature.  Link to Classes Classes Overview
 

Dynamic Causes on Failure Effects (Based on Failure Classes)

 
Failure Effects with dynamic causes can be linked to a failure class, rather than a test. When linked to a class, the effect’s causes will be populated with all failure modes in the local model that have been assigned that class. Note: Failure effects can only be linked to failure-based classes; function classes cannot be used to calculate an effect’s causes dynamically. The mechanism and user interface is the same as when you link a failure effect to a test. You can create a dynamic failure effect for a given failure class by highlighting one or mode failure classes in the Explorer Tree and selecting “Create Failure Effects…” from the Special section of the right- click menu for classes. An existing design or intermediate effect can be linked to a class using fields on the “Details” tab of the Failure Effects panel as shown below.
 
 
Choosing Change Link as shown above will open the panel shown below:
 
 
Link to Test or Class will then allow the Analyst to choose Class as shown below. This will open the window at the right so the +3.3V regulated class can be chosen.
 
Note that a +3.3 filter has been used here for illustration to reduce the selections.
