LSAR Interface – ASENT Import Last revised: 8/15/2005

In today’s environment, it is becoming more and more common for customers to field existing products longer. This creates a demand for upgrades and redesigns of existing products. Because of this, ASENT and EAGLE provide users a means to import existing program LSAR data from EAGLE into ASENT. This time-saving feature allows a wide range of data to be passed in an automated fashion. For example, the product tree structure, failure rate and MTBF information, FMEA/FMECA data, and Maintenance tasks can all be imported from EAGLE into ASENT. Introduction

If an ASENT project already exists for the selected End Item, the user has the ability to update the existing project or add it to a new project that will be created automatically. ASENT’s LSAR Interface

If FMECA data was selected as part of the import, then this window will be presented to the user. ASENT will show you other projects that have FMECA data and allow you to choose one of these as the starting point for your failure mode/effect libraries. This can be helpful if you are working on a project that is a spin-off of one that already has a lot of this data. If you are unsure, pick COMMON_FMD91. ASENT’s LSAR Interface

If FMECA data was selected as part of the import, then this window will be presented to the user. Here, you can rename the function and phase, if you’d like, for the FMECA portion of the data. This information is often used to note different modes of operation. For example, your product might be some vision enhancement goggles and you might have Surveillance Mode as the function and Night as the phase. ASENT’s LSAR Interface
