CModel.Bounds Time

Member of: SynthesisAPI9.cModel

Calculates the bounds on the time at which a specified reliability will be achieved. Returns a BoundsValues object array that contains the result(s).

You must first use the SetConfidenceLevel method to specify the confidence bound settings, and then use this method to perform the calculations.

Syntax

.Bounds_Time( Rel, CurrentAge, DutyCycle) 

Parameters

Rel

Required. Double. The reliability goal.

CurrentAge

Optional. Double. The current age. Default value = 0.

DutyCycle

Optional. Double. The duty cycle. Default value = 1.

Example

VBA

 ... 

 'Add code to get an existing model or create a new one. 
 Dim AModel As New cModel
 ... 
 
 'Set the confidence level to 90% two-sided bounds. 
 Dim ErrorMsg As String
 Call AModel.SetConfidenceLevel(0.9, ConfBoundsSides_TwoSidedBoth, False, ErrorMsg)

 'Calculate the bounds on the time when the model's reliability will be 90%. 
 Dim ResultValue As BoundsValues
 Set ResultValue = AModel.Bounds_Time(.95)

 'Output sample: Display the results for the upper and lower confidence bounds. 
 MsgBox (" Upper bound: " & ResultValue.Upper & ", Lower bound: " & ResultValue.Lower)
