Creating FTA Files

Prerequisites: a SOX project was created and the Repository view is active.

 

  1. In the Repository view, right-click on the FTA folder.

  2. Choose New > New FTA File. - Outcome: The "New FTA file" dialog will open.

  3. Click on Browse... to choose the target folder to which you wish to save the FTA file.

  4. Choose a file name for the FTA file.

  5. Choose the Mission Time (in hours) for this FTA.

  6. Assign a Safety Goal for the FTA file. (Can be assigned later)

  7. Assigned hazards can be selected with a check mark. (Can be assigned later)

 Outcome: An FTA file was created and added to the repository.

Now you can drag and drop the objects from the sidebar to form a fault tree, derive an FTA from an FMEA or use single failures and components from the FMEA out of the PSS view.
