33.4. FMEA Improvements

Restrict Analysis Depth

With R19.0 an option was introduced to limit the analysis depth to a certain level. As a result, all structure elements below that level are not part of the FMEA worksheet. With this version an additional option is introduced to restrict the analysis to the fixed analysis depth. As a consequence, all structure elements above the level are not part of the analysis, i.e. they appear just as structure elements without columns to "analyze" them.

FMEA Option Presets

To support the user in setting and configuring the FMEA worksheet, considering the growing number of options, a number of default "predefined sets" of FMEA options have been added to easily adapt the worksheet to requirements as defined by certain standards as for example VDA.
