Introduction

This page is a working draft of the changes/modifications planned for this version. It is made publicly available to customers for input and feedback.


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.

Postponed

  • Parts Table Reference added to desktop applications for better tie in to XFRACAS. [NEW] [NS]

UI Changes Not Affecting Functionality

  • UDFs for folios also changed to be a tree structure. [FC]
  • Model window interface updated to use a tree structure similar to other resources. [FC]
  • Interface improvements for Resource Manager: [FC]
    • "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 stack of saved values and tracked over time. [NEW] [FC]
  • FMEAs are now resources. This is only available in applications that use FMEAs (Xfmea/RCM++/RBI) [FC]

Application-Specific Modifications

Weibull++Icon.png Weibull++/ALTA 10

  • Fractional Failures Analysis added. Discount failures based on planned corrective actions effectiveness for what-if analysis. [NEW] [FC]
  • Weibull/ALTA Multiple Projects added. Open multiple projects at the same time. [NEW] [FC]
  • New 3D-Plot Folio added. New, original 3D plots. [NEW] [FC]
  • Catastrophic Degradation Analysis added. Direct MLE solution options for Degradation Analysis added, allowing for catastrophic degradation analysis. [NEW] [FC]
  • User-Defined Degradation Model was added in Weibull++. This is the same feature as the Equation Fit Solver in Weibull++
  • Item Specific Calculation Options. Folio Calculation Options are defined at the folio level and are independent of User Settings. [NEW] [FC]
  • Publish analysis to the Synthesis Enterprise Portal: [NEW] [FC]
  • Published Folio/Data Sheets can now be associated with a Metric variable. Track and plot (and even analyze) changes in analysis metrics over time. [NEW] [FC]
  • Reliability Data Warehouse (RDW) functionality expanded and interface redesigned. [IP]
    • Link automatically to external databases through RDW (SQL, Oracle Access).
  • Interactive plot zoom. [NEW] [FC]

BlockSimIcon.png BlockSim 10

RENOIcon.png RENO 10

  • Drag & Drop Mode enhanced and can now be used in tabbed view as well.
  • Option to not automatically validate equations added. [NEW] [IP]
  • Ability to reference resources by name in the equations instead of by reference. [NEW] [IP]
  • Quick send to Weibull for result containers.
  • Curved line type connectors added to diagrams. [NEW] [IP]

XfmeaIcon.png Xfmea 10

  • Analyses as Resources. FMEAs are now resources (i.e., Linked FMEAs) and can be reused. [NEW] [IP]
  • FMEA Smart Add. [NEW] [NS]
  • Optional color coding on scale selections added based on item target reliability. [NEW] [IP]
  • Target Reliability allocation to cause added [NEW] [IP]
  • Read and Push Metrics added to all items [NEW] [IP]
  • QCPN metric added. [NEW] [IP]
  • 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 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.
  • System Hierarchy Filtered View
  • Interactive FMEA Block Diagrams added.
  • Automatic and linked Test Plan Generation and monitoring. Enhances and replaces existing DVP&R functionality.


Postponed

28 Lambda Predict 10

  • FIDES
    • A set of FIDES Phases can now be defined in a Phase Set.
    • Two new FIDES plots.
  • Parts Count added.
    • Added a parts count prediction that restricts the behaviors to those allowable in a parts count.
  • NSWC Updated


DOEIcon.png DOE++ 10

  • The optimization plot, overlaid contour plot and dynamic overlaid contour plot dialogs now use a tree format. (Specific factors can now be held constant in the optimization plot.)
  • Ignore/Include column added to standard and robust folios. (Ignored rows are not included in any of the calculations.)
  • Dialogs added to modify all factors or all responses from one spot.
  • Central Composite factor values can be assigned based on Alpha values.
  • New and improved Surface plot.
    • Basic plot functionality remains the same as the previous surface plot.
    • Appearance is greatly improved (including anti-aliasing and legible text).
    • Interface has changed substantially.
    • Available settings have been vastly expanded.

RGAIcon.png RGA 10

  • Modifications/improvements to multiple systems analysis (and generating the equivalent single system).
  • Folios/data sheets can now be associated with a Metric variable.
  • Metric variable array can be used as a data source. Track and plot (and even analyze) changes in analysis metrics over time.


XFRACASIcon.png XFRACAS 10

  • Multiple "under-the-hood" improvements.


MPCIcon.png MPC 10


Synthesis API 10

  • Calculate compound (analytical diagram) models via an API call.
  • Manipulate Xfmea System Hierarchy Via API

New Applications Added to the Platform for Version 10

      • Continuous Markov: For creating and analyzing single or multi-phased diagrams with continuous distributions for transition probabilities.

The Synthesis Dashboard Designer 10 [NEW]

  • Create dashboard templates that can be published and viewed from each hosting application and the Synthesis Enterprise Portal.
  • Dashboard designs are available for the following analyses:
    • DFR Planner
