Create a References Table

You can create a PRA table, which is not linked to an architecture element. You can create several reference tables.

Before you begin:

Do one of the following actions:

  • Verify that no structure element is selected, in the Structure Tree.
  • Clear the loaded environment in the app, by clicking Home .

  1. To create a reference table, click either:
    • Create Analysis , from the Edit section of the action bar
    • Create Analysis, from the home page

    If at least two templates are available on the server, the Choose Analysis's Template dialog box appears.

  2. Optional: From the Choose Analysis's Template dialog box, select the template to be applied.

If a template can be selected, this template is applied to the created table, otherwise the default template is applied.

Tip: You can rename the created table by selecting the node in the Structure Tree, pressing F2, and editing the title.

A child node representing the PRA is created in the Structure Tree.

You can now load the created table to populate it.

Load a Reference Table

You can load a reference table to populate it or to visualize its content.

Note: To load a reference table, which is not in session, drag a PRA from another widget to Preliminary Risk Assessment. For more information, see Objects You Can Drag into Preliminary Risk Assessment.

  1. From the Structure Tree, select the node representing the PRA reference.
  2. From the Edit section of the action bar, click Load/Unload Analysis .

    The Structure Tree is refreshed and presents only the reference table if a structure was present.

    The PRA table appears in the work area with its causality relationships, if it contains causality relationships.

    You can now:

    • Create causality relationships by using Create Causality Relationship , from the Edit section of the action bar.
    • Edit causality relationships.
