About XML Import and Export

The Fault Tree Analysis app can import and export fault trees in XML, to exchange fault trees.

In an industrial context, complex systems are commonly divided into subsystems. These subsystems are designed by suppliers while an integrator exchanges data from the top-level system, which represent the interfaces between the subsystems. Thus, OEMs and suppliers must exchange fault trees in a common format.

The process consists of exporting fault trees in an XML file, and then importing this XML back when modified.
