Repository.Xfmea.AddXfmeaCause Method

Member of: SynthesisAPI.Repository

Adds a new cause to an effect. Returns a Boolean value; when true, indicates a successful save.

Syntax

.Xfmea.AddXfmeaCause(Cause, EffectID, FailureID)

Parameters

Cause

Required. The XfmeaCause object to be added.

EffectID

Required. Integer. The record ID of the parent FMEA effect.

FailureID

Example

This example assumes that FMEAs exist in a repository. It creates a new cause, and then saves it under one of the effects in the FMEA.

VBA

 'Declare a new Repository object and connect to a Synthesis repository. 
  Dim MyRepository As New Repository
  MyRepository.ConnectToAccessRepository("C:\RSRepository1.rsr10")
 
 'Create a new cause. The following code creates a new cause described as "Over pressure in lamp due to no gas." 
  Dim ACause As New XfmeaCause
  ACause.Dsc = "Over pressure in lamp due to no gas"

 'Add the new cause to project #1, under effect #2 in failure #1. 
  MyRepository.Project.SetCurrentProject(1)
  Call MyRepository.Xfmea.AddXfmeaCause(ACause, 2, 1)
