cModel.Bounds Time

Member of: SynthesisAPI.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. This method applies to published models only. Returns nothing if the calculation is performed on a non-published model.
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
This example assumes that a published model with ID #47 exists in the repository.
VBA ... 'Get model ID #47 from project ID #1 in the repository. Dim AModel As cModel MyRepository.Project.SetCurrentProject(1) Set AModel = MyRepository.Model.GetModel(47) '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)
