Modifications and
Enhancements to RGA
6 |
|
The modifications/enhancements for each service release
are described next. This information is also available
in the ReadMe file that is installed with the software.
The most recent service release (build) contains all previous
modifications.
Build 6.5.4
Modifications
- Fixed the Failure Mode
Strategy plot for data sets containing times to
event less than 0.5.
- Corrected the IFI/IMTBF
exact confidence bounds calculation for grouped
data.
- Corrected the CVM
calculation for Multiple and Repairable Systems.
- Addressed issue with
transferring system data containing no failures
to Weibull++.
- Modified the output of
non-specified EF values in the BD Modes Summary
for Automated Reports.
- Updated Folio to
remember BD Mode and Comment column alignment
when switching between systems in Advanced
System View.
Build 6.5.3
Modifications
- Corrected the DMTBF/DFI value displayed in automated reports for
Multiple Systems - Unknown Equivalent Times.
- Modified the method of calculating the default time interval value
for MTBF and failure intensity plots when using the Multiple Systems -
Unknown Equivalent Times data type and beta is greater than one.
Build 6.5.2
Modifications
- Modified the procedure that displays statistical test results for
individual systems on the data panel to ensure it always uses the
significance level specified in the user setup.
- Removed an intermittent calculation warning resulting from a check
on the Fisher Matrix even when Fisher Matrix was not the selected
confidence interval method.
Build 6.5.1
Modifications
- Added support for Weibull++ version 7.0.5
and later.
Build 6.0.5
Modifications
- Corrected intermittent issues with
transferring between data types.
- Corrected the likelihood value and
Fisher Matrix calculations for the repairable systems data type.
- Added theory help.
- Added additional options to the 'First
Time-to-Failure for Unique Modes' function in the Function Wizard.
- Added a user warning when trying to
calculate a data set with effectiveness factors equal to zero.
- Added a user setup option to show the
Crow-AMSAA beta for a data set calculated under the beta=1 hypothesis.
- Added a user setup option to call the
instantaneous MTBF/FI at the end of a developmental test 'Demonstrated'
or 'Achieved'.
- Modified the system operation plot for
data sets calculated using dates to show the time line based on days
into test.
- Modified the results shown in the
analysis and projection summaries for reports.
Build 6.0.4
Modifications
- Corrected the parameter
bounds for continuous data and fielded systems for the Crow confidence
method.
- Corrected an intermittent issue with bounds on instantaneous MTBF/FI
and time given instantaneous MTBF/FI for the Crow confidence method.
- Corrected the bounds on mission time for repairable systems when
using the Fisher Matrix confidence method.
- Corrected the MTBF/FI of System Before and After Corrections
calculation in the Function Wizard.
- Corrected an intermittent issue with the calculations for repairable
systems when the unbiased beta option was selected.
- Added a convert data type utility for multiple systems (unknown
equivalent times), repairable and fleet data types.
- Added a check to ensure all BC classifications have an associated
mode value.
- Updated the Effectiveness Factor window to allow individual EF values
of 0 or 1.
- Removed all growth potential calculations and plots for data sets not
containing BD modes.
- Modified the confidence bounds for fleet to follow the same method as
grouped data when using the Crow confidence method.
- Modified the calculation for the average effectiveness factor of BC
modes.
- Modified the growth potential calculation for data sets containing BC
modes.
- Modified the Failure Mode Strategy plot calculation which is now
based on the instantaneous failure intensity at the end of the test.
Build 6.0.3
Modifications
- Added Extended model analysis
for Multiple Systems - Known Failure Times.
- Added an Equivalent System function to the Function Wizard for
Multiple Systems - Known Failure Times.
- Modified Fisher Matrix calculation for Grouped Failure Times.
- Resolved an issue associated with Crow confidence bounds for
Repairable systems.
Build 6.0.2
Modifications
- Corrected the unbiased beta
calculation for failure terminated data.
- Corrected the Observed and Estimated
Cumulative Failures Table function in the Function Wizard for fielded
systems. The table did not include the number of failures for the final
failure time.
- Added Mission Time calculations for
repairable systems.
- Added additional options for
transferring data to Weibull++.
- Added the ability to sort modes by
MTBF and change in MTBF for Individual Mode plots.
- Added a date column to the Equivalent
System function in the Function Wizard if dates were considered in the
calculations.
- Added convert failure mode
functionality to data sheets.
- Added warning for calculations that
have a beta of the BC's or BD's greater than one.
- Updated the plot legend for the Crow-AMSAA
(NHPP) model to display Crow (NHPP).
- Updated the results area of data
sheets to display the beta equals one value in red if the hypothesis is
invalid.
- Updated the various percent failure
mode (A, BC, BD) functions in the Function Wizard to always return
values in percent. The return values were returned as fractions if the
use percent values option was checked in the User Setup.
- Modified Failure Mode Strategy
calculations and added seen and unseen BC modes.
- Modified the time line used in the
Chi-Squared goodness-of-fit calculation window for Fleet data.
- Modified the CVM goodness-of-fit test
for the beta equals one hypothesis.
- Modified the CBH calculation so that
it only applies if all systems are calculated.
- Resolved an issue with some analysis
settings not getting updated in the Control Panel when switching between
sheets.
- Resolved an issue with multiple and
fielded systems not correctly importing data from Excel.
- Resolved an issue with some folio
settings not getting updated when moving or copying multiple and fielded
systems data sheets.
- Resolved an issue with parsing A
failure modes into the classification and mode columns.
- Resolved an intermittent issue with
Word and Excel remaining open when "View Report" was not selected.
- Resolved issues with creating reports
in Word 97.
- Resolved issues with the Lloyd-Lipow
reliability data calculation.
