How can I model a specific maintenance routine in a phase diagram in BlockSim?
The powerful new phase diagramming features in BlockSim 7, which model systems that change over time, also let you define a specific maintenance routine for components in those systems. When a maintenance phase is added to a Reliability Phase Diagram (RBD), it must be associated with a Maintenance Template. In the example shown below, the production of an oil refinery is modeled with a maintenance phase following the shut down phase. This maintenance phase is associated with Maintenance Template1, as specified in the Phase Properties window. During this maintenance phase, maintenance actions will be performed on all the blocks listed in Maintenance Template1. The Maintenance Template serves as an inventory, or checklist, of components that need maintenance. By default, the maintenance priority will be set according to the order in which the blocks were added to the Maintenance Template. When a new block is added, BlockSim automatically assigns the block a number, which appears below th
