Comments, Questions or Feedback
You can use the new Synthesis sub-forum in the Reliability Discussion Forum for comments, questions, suggestions and/or feedback related to the planned modifications.
Alternatively, you can send an e-mail to the Development team.
Platform-Wide Modifications
These platform modifications are incorporated into all applications.

- Global/Template Resources added/expanded. [MODIFIED] [NEW] [FC]
- Synthesis-wide DFR Planner added. [NEW] [IP]
- DFR planner is now included in all Synthesis applications and defined at the project level. DFR planner removed from Xfmea/RCM++.
- Also available via a web interface through the Synthesis Enterprise Portal.
- New DFR Resources added. [NEW]
- New Work Days Scheduler added. [NEW]
- Expanded Alerts. E-mail alerts and notifications expanded and streamlined. [MODIFIED] [NEW]
- User Profiles expanded. [MODIFIED]
- Change in Global Identifiers. [MODIFIED]
- Advanced Categorization and Filtering added. [NEW]
- Global Item Filter added. [NEW]
- Synthesis Resource Shortcuts added. Open an app/project/folio/sheet from a single file. [NEW]
- Non-Auto-Save Mode added. [NEW]
- For single users and non-enterprise implementations.
- Open in new mode (with save/save as).
- Non-Auto-Save options added to standard non-shared repositories.
- "Traditional Mode" files with a new extension allow the user to commit/abandon changes made to a repository.
- Bypasses the auto-save feature.
- Expanded Project Explorer added. [NEW]
- Open multiple projects simultaneously.
- Filter project view using the Global Item Filter. [NEW]
- Drag and drop project items from one project to another (in-lieu of the existing import functionality).
- Unified Actions. All Actions including test requests are unified across all products and can be managed/linked with the DFR planner, as well as through the new web-based Synthesis Enterprise Portal.
- Parts Table Reference added to desktop applications for better tie in to XFRACAS. [NEW]
UI Changes Not Affecting Functionality
- UDFs for folios also changed to be a tree structure.
- Model window interface updated to use a tree structure similar to other resources.
- Interface improvements for Resource Manager:
- "Show All," "Show Only Unused" and "Show Only Duplicates" now indicate which option is selected.
- A status bar at the bottom of the window indicates which resource is selected, the Local/Global view option and the Selection option.
New Resources
- Metric. Shows calculated results value from a model or simulation result. Result values can be manually added to a history log and tracked over time. [NEW]
Application-Specific Modifications
All platform modifications are reflected and added to each individual application.
Additionally, this section presents specific major modifications that apply (are unique) to an individual application.
Weibull++/ALTA 10
- Platform-wide modifications (see the list at the top of this page).
- Fractional Failures Analysis added. Discount failures based on planned corrective actions effectiveness for what-if analysis. [NEW]
- Weibull/ALTA Multiple Projects added. Open multiple projects at the same time. [NEW]
- New 3D-Plot Folio added. New, original 3D plots. [NEW]
- Catastrophic Degradation Analysis added. Direct MLE solution options for Degradation Analysis added, allowing for catastrophic degradation analysis. [NEW]
- Publish analysis to the Synthesis Enterprise Portal:
- Folio information
- Workbook reports
- QCP access
- Plots
- Data
- Folio properties and categorization added. Similar to project properties, a folio includes a superset of folio properties. [NEW]
- Folio/datasheets can now be associated with a Metric variable. Track and plot (and even analyze) changes in analysis metrics over time. [NEW]
- Reliability Data Warehouse (RDW) functionality expanded and interface redesigned. [MODIFIED]
- ... In-process. Additional details forthcoming ...
- ...
- ...
- ...
BlockSim 10
- Platform-wide modifications (see the list at the top of this page).
- BlockSim General Enhancements. General Interface and Analysis enhancements were made. [MODIFIED] [NEW]
- FMRA View Expanded. Additional functionality and capability added to the BlockSim FMRA view. [MODIFIED]
- BlockSim Multiple Projects Open multiple projects at the same time. [NEW]
- BlockSim's Results Dashboard modified and expanded. [MODIFIED]
- BlockSim Templates available in pre-Synthesis earlier versions are reintroduced. [NEW]
- Diagrams can now be associated with a Metric variable. Track and plot (and even analyze) changes in analysis metrics over time.
- ... In-process. Additional details forthcoming ...
- ...
- ...
- ...
RENO 10
- Platform-wide modifications (see the list at the top of this page).
- Drag & Drop Mode enhanced and can now be used in tabbed view as well.
- Templates are brought back and added.
- Option to not automatically validate equations added.
- Ability to reference resources by name in the equations instead of by reference.
- RENO Multiple Projects. Open multiple projects at the same time.
- ... In-process. Additional details forthcoming ...
- ...
- ...
- ...
Xfmea 10
- Platform-wide modifications (see the list at the top of this page).
- Analyses as Resources. Analyses such as FMEAs, Risk Discovery, etc. are now resources (i.e., Linked FMEAs) and can be reused. [NEW]
- FMEA Import/Compare Window added. [NEW]
- QCPN metric added. [NEW]
- DFR planner is no longer an analysis in Xfmea but is now a separate project level utility application available to all Synthesis applications.
- Conversion considerations:
- In V9, DFR plans were simpler and could be added to any item in the system hierarchy.
- The greatly expanded V10 DFR planner is no longer item based/focused but instead project based.
- Upon conversion of older files, and if more than one DFR planner is in the project, the plans will be merged into a single project level DFR planner.
- Conversion considerations:
- System Hierarchy Filtered View
