System Reliability Data Model

The following diagram shows how the families used in System Reliability Analysis are related to one another.

Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. You can determine the direction of the each relationship definition from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.

In the above image:

Black arrows and boxes represent entity families, relationship families, and associated relationship definitions that are configured in the baseline database and do not require customization for the baseline functionality to work.
Red arrows and boxes represent entity families, relationship families, and associated relationship definitions that may require customization.
The System Action box represents one of four System Action subfamilies in which records can exist: System Condition Monitor, System Inspection, System Preventive Maintenance, or System Special Action. The specific family that is used will depend upon the type of Action that is created for a given Asset or Switch element.
The Distribution box represents one of four Distribution subfamilies in which records can exist: record. The specific family that is used will depend upon the distribution type selected for the associated Risk.

Throughout this documentation, we use the term System Reliability Analysis to mean the combination of the root System Analysis record and all records that are linked to it.
