Failure Conditions ============================ This is the workspace where the user can define the Failure Conditions for the different systems. Failure Conditions Table -------------------------------- When we go into Failure Conditions tab, Robin will show the failure conditions of the last project where the user was working. The user will see the following table: .. image:: img/failure_conditions/fc1.png :width: 696.47pt \ This table can be filtered by a single system with the dropdown on the top. Create Failure Conditions -------------------------------- To add new Failure Conditions, the user can click on the ´Add Failure Condition´ button and the following form will open: .. image:: img/failure_conditions/add_fc.png :width: 696.47pt \ In this form, the user can specify all the details regarding a new failure condition: - **System**: Specifies the system or subsystem that the failure condition pertains to. This is important for classifying and understanding the scope of the failure. - **FC ID**: This is a unique identifier, typically a sequential number, assigned to each Failure Condition for easier tracking and referencing. - **Severity**: This field describes the seriousness of the Failure Condition. It's often rated on a scale, such as Catastrophic, Hazardous, Major, Minor, etc., to reflect the potential impact. New severities can be created in the FTA settings page. - **Description**: A brief narrative that explains the nature of the Failure Condition. This should offer enough detail for someone unfamiliar with the situation to understand what the failure entails. - **Top Event**: This is the primary undesired event or outcome that the Failure Condition could lead to. Robin allows to link the Failure Condition with an specific Top Gate. - **Failure Type**: Categorizes the Failure Condition according to its characteristics. For example, is it a mechanical failure, software bug, human error, etc.? - **Adverse condition**: This specifies the unfavorable state or situation that arises as a direct consequence of the Failure Condition. - **Effect of FC**: Outlines the direct and immediate outcomes that occur due to the Failure Condition. This could be in terms of system operation, safety, or other operational metrics. - **Comments**: This is a free-text field for any additional observations, notes, or explanations that provide context or supplementary information about the Failure Condition. \ Once created, the Failure Conditions can be modified: all the previous fields, the associated Top Gate or the severity. .. image:: img/failure_conditions/edit_topgate.PNG :width: 696.47pt \ Also, once attached the Top Gate, there is a button in the table which allows to compute the Fault Tree without going to the diagram. .. image:: img/failure_conditions/fc_computation.png :width: 696.47pt \ Compliance -------------------------------- Robin evaluates the compliance of each Failure Condition by comparing its calculated probability with the predefined target probability for its severity level. This is visually represented by a traffic-light indicator with the following color codes: - **Green**: Indicates that the calculated probability is below the target level, signaling compliance. - **Red**: Signifies that the calculated probability exceeds the target, indicating non-compliance. - **Yellow**: Denotes that the probability has yet to be calculated. These colors serve as quick, intuitive markers for assessing the risk compliance of each Failure Condition. .. image:: img/failure_conditions/compliance.png :width: 696.47pt \
