Users can generate product-decomposition diagrams describing systems, subsystems, and components.
They can also define libraries of failure modes and causes as well as create reports. Failure information can include functions, failure modes, causes, effects, and corrective actions for any or all components in a hierarchy. With the FTA program, engineers can construct, edit, and analyze fault trees. The software can handle large fault trees with hundreds of gates. In addition, it can generate cut sets and minimum cut sets for the fault tree, calculate fault-tree probability, and perform sensitivity analysis.
