  • cScheduledTask
  • cCrew
  • cModel
  • cPool
  • cURD
  • cVariable
  • cXfmeaControl

• The following objects build data collections for the Synthesis Data Warehouse (SDW).
  • RawData represents a single data point.
  • RawDataSet serves as the data container for the RawData objects.

• The XfmeaItem object represents a system hierarchy item. Instances of this class can be used to store data for a system or assembly, as well as build a multi-level system configuration.

• The following objects represent the FMEA records. Instances of each class can be used to store data for an existing or new FMEA analysis.
  • XfmeaFunction
  • XfmeaCause
  • XfmeaEffect
