[x] The error appearing with opening of the auto complete list for operating conditions has been fixed.
[x] When new causes were inserted in the FMEA form in a second workspace, the structure editor wasn’t updated. This has been fixed.
[x] The focus in the FMEA form was lost when new effects were inserted. This has been fixed.
[x] Focus is lost with duplicate connection: If a classification was defined for an effect that also appears as effect somewhere else in the same FMEA form, this other effect was focused after confirmation of the change. This has been fixed.
[x] The color for all fields of abandoned actions is consistent now.
[x] When the print preview was opened via the file menu and the print was started from this dialog, the error “receiver is not a Boolean” occurred. This has been fixed.
[x] The right click menu for fading columns in and out is available again.

[x] Criterion “Appears in variant with name contains…” is also available for forms filters (Extended) now
[x] Filtering for symbolic deadlines now works as follows:
– If a concrete date is selected as comparative value, actions with symbolic deadlines are being compared according to their existing concrete deadline. Actions without symbolic deadline are being compared according to their possibly assigned concrete deadline.
– If a symbolic deadline is selected as comparative value, the comparison is made according to symbolic deadlines only (that means their names, no matter, whether a concrete deadline has been assigned or not). The behavior has changed here. Previously this filtering also showed actions, which did not have any symbolic deadline at all, but had the same concrete deadline as the symbolic deadline.

[x] When a structure was copied from a different file via Drag&Drop, under certain circumstances the structure type was not set up correctly. This has been fixed.
[x] If a single form already existed for a system element, the command “->FMEA Forms Editor” was not available in the context menu with a multi selection. This has been fixed.
[x] “Search and Replace” did not work properly under certain circumstances. This has been fixed.

PIM
[x] During the creating of new bookmarks an error occurred. This has been fixed.

Search/Filter:
[x] At the failure there are now three possible conditions available for the attribute “No error detection required” (true, false, unknown).
[x] IQ Explorer: In the export of a results list with additional info into the format CSV, a column was missing. This has been fixed.
[x] Values for FSM (Functional Safety management) values (e.g. Desired SFF) are only being displayed, if such values have been assigned.

Administration:
[x] Terminology and Translation: The translation language is being managed by the editor and is now independent of the set database language (the translation language can be set via double click on the column label).
[x] Symbolic Responsibility/Deadlines: During the creating of new symbolic deadlines, the setting of a concrete deadline can also be done by selection in the calendar view now.

XML interface:
[x] The contents of the field “FMEA number” in the header data or the Cover Sheet is included as simple text (not in HTML) additionally.

Analysis Desktop:
[x] Status Trend: With certain data combinations the bars on the time axis were displayed slightly out of alignment. This has been fixed.

Maintenance Customers (new functionality which is available for maintenance customers only)
[x] A new workstation setting is available now. “Manage variants when working within the master structure” asks during the creation of new objects in the master structure, in which variants these objects shall be visible.

CARM Server:

Note: The following CARM Server functionalities are available within the IQ-Software. They require a valid installation of the CARM Server V3.6 – 0.0.0.6.

Date of Release:

1. March 2011

Service Pack IQ Version 6.0 – 0.0.5.9

General:
[x] If a file was read from a network drive and the network connection got lost, an error occurred when closing the user info file. This has been fixed.
[x] If data is automatically loaded on starting the IQ-Software and if the option “Show deadlines in revision on start“ is active, an error occurred in case the last used file was not available anymore. This has been fixed.
[x] Occurrence and detection ratings were initialized with 10 during start if no rating was assigned explicitly and the workstation setting “Set initial O/D values to 10” was activated. From now on ratings will be initialized with 10 when creating new actions (groups) if the setting is activated.
[x] Workstation Settings | System Optimization: the maximum height or width of an embedded image can be specified here.
[x] If the file link of an object bookmark was not found, two error messages were shown. This has been reduced to one error message!
[x] When opening the version of a Control Plan based on a Function/Characteristics Net, an error occurred. This has been fixed.
[x] LDAP: The limitation of the length of the LDAP password was removed. Advice: an already existing password will be invalid in the new version! A new LDAP password needs to be created.
[x] File | Properties: file name, creation date and the date of the last modification were added.
[x] When changing from Full Screen to regular view, the toolbars and status bar were not displayed correctly. This has been fixed.
[x] General: IQ functionalities, which are not part of the current version, can be activated for testing via the workstation settings. This activation needs to be executed on every program start.
[x] Update program version: the error message “Java_io_FileNotFoundException” was displayed if other languages than “German” or “English” had been set as interface language. This message will not be displayed anymore.

CARM-Server – Administration:
[x] CSS Modules: different module categories must not have the same name. During input and update the names will be checked.

Drag&Drop
[x] When copying header information in the FMEA form sheet, the deadlines (M2010 form sheet) will be adopted to the target.
[x] When copying functions/characteristics, their order will be kept.

Fault Tree Editor:
[x] If the fault tree was extended after the creation of minimal cut sets, these minimal cut sets were not updated. This has been fixed.
[x] Minimal cut sets can be exported into an XLS file (File|Export|Export minimal cut sets).
[x] During Drag&Drop of a logical node, an error occurred. This has been fixed.
[x] It is possible now to simultaneously enter values for multiple elements (multiple elements are selected).

FMEDA Form Sheet:
[x] When entering a FIT value for a failure, an error occurred if the FIT value of the related structural element was 0. This is fixed.

Filter & Search:
[x] Functional safety criteria are now available for the form sheet.
[x] “S rating (max)” can now be used for failure effects.
[x] New filter criterion “Begin date” was introduced for actions.
[x] Remove Filter (F6) works as a toggle now and reactivates the previously used filter.

Filter Dialog:
[x] When adding filter criteria, the criteria list may not have been updated correctly. This has been fixed.
[x] For changeable system filter, the level button will open the respective properties dialog.
[x] The button “Save” was renamed to “Accept” because the button “Save” incorrectly implied the saving of the filter into an own file.
[x] Via drag & drop, “child filters” can become “root filters” again if they are dropped to “User-defined filters”.
[x] Detail filters: the command “Negate criterion” was renamed to “Negate level” since negating refers to levels (e.g. “has failure effect with…” or “is anchored at…”) and does not refer to a criterion.
[x] The command “Negate criterion” is now available in the context menu and as a button (in the left-hand area).

FMEA Forms Editor:
[x] If an action is selected, the context menu contains an entry “Fade-in actions”.
Using this entry will open a selection list that contains the effects tree for the selected failure cause. Here the selection can be made to which effect the action is to be anchored. The action will be moved to this effect and will be faded in with the current cause.

HTML Notes:
[x] The calculation error, which led to a distance between bigger images, has been fixed.
[x] Using the context menu, embedded documents/images can be updated (replaced with their original) in the opened note.
[x] Templates can be exported and imported via administration (Right mouse-click -> templates -> administration).
[x] The value of the option “Cache images embedded in HTML” is set active by default.

Import of Filters:
[x] Already existing filters will be imported with a new ID. The existing filters remain untouched.
[x] Previously deleted filters with the same ID remain deleted; the import filter will be imported instead.
[x] Already existing names will be provided with a counter in order to prevent the mixing-up of names.

IQ-Explorer:
[x] Searching for operating conditions did not lead to a result if a selection (e.g. structures) was specified in the document search. This has been fixed.
[x] Changing the option “additional info” led to the redundant display of top failures, operating conditions and user-defined attributes. This has been fixed.
[x] Cells of objects, which are not contained in the structure of the relevant variant, will be greyed-out in the “Variant comparative presentation” view.
[x] If a structure is selected for the document search, only the variants of the selected structures will be displayed when opening the “Variant comparative presentation” view.
[x] Via the file list the option “Info and summary” can be accessed for the selected file using the context menu. This will provide a text summary of the FME file.
[x] File size and time stamp will be displayed right-justified.
[x] The error that occurs when searching and replacing over multiple files has been fixed.
[x] The view “Variant comparative presentation” only contains lines with variant-specific assigned (or hidden) information.

Modules:
[x] In modules, notes will be taken for machines and inspection equipment.

Net Editors:
[x] Printing of nets – folded nodes in the left branch were not printed folded. This has been fixed.

Presentation Print/Web Publisher:
[x] Now it is possible to copy a Presentation Print batch and paste it as a Web Publisher batch (and vice versa). The commands are located in the context menu (via the node) in the respective dialog.
[x] Mechatronical objects were incorporated into navigation and text search of the Web Publisher.

Input collector with catalog:
[x] In the menu “Catalog”, the commands “Set filter” and “Remove filter” were merged to one command “Set Filter/Remove Filter”. That way, the behavior is analogous to the filtering symbol in the toolbar of the input collector. Furthermore, the last used search pattern will be used as initial value for a new filtering.
[x] When adding new causes using the input collector with catalog, an error occurred if an entry was used from the catalog. This has been fixed.

Statistics:
[x] Structure-related analyses: mechatronical objects can be displayed in the column for failures.
[x] All analyses: if multiple analysis schemes exist for one analysis type, the currently opened scheme will be selected in the selection dialog for statistics.
[x] Pareto analysis: during a structure-related analysis, the actions level is not correctly displayed in some cases in the context with a filter. This is fixed.
[x] Structure-related analyses: one filter for the actions level was not correctly applied for Difference and Frequency Analyses. This is fixed.
[x] Risk Matrix/Extended Risk Matrix: the auto filter for colored areas was improved.
[x] Difference Analysis: “Last completed state” and “Last revision state” can be selected as data sets.
[x] The analyses “Action Tracking” and “Responsibility Analyses” can be executed structure-related.
[x] The labeling of the X-axis for “Action Tracking” was improved.
[x] Action Tracking: Action properties (responsible, deadline) can be selected for the analysis.
[x] Actions/Responsibility: The presentation of the deadline display was adjusted.
[x] The representation of an analysis scheme is always the same (name + data set + factors).
[x] Risk Matrix/Extended Risk Matrix: the representation of 4 colored areas is possible.

Structure Editor:
[x] The contents in a form sheet were not correctly updated after deleting an action in the structure editor if this action was a faded-in action. This has been fixed.
[x] In the extended tool bar, a drop-down-list for filters has been added.
[x] Concerning characteristics, it is possible to explicitly filter the attributes “is process characteristic”, “is product characteristic” and “is requirement” (Advice: is to be found under “extended”).

Assistant:
[x] If a rule was deactivated for an object, this was not recognized. This has been fixed.

Variants:
[x] The date of the revision state can now be assigned variant-specifically.

Analysis Desktop:
[x] Analysis “Project State”: the counter for abandoned actions is deactivated, the color coding for abandoned actions will not be displayed in the legend.
[x] “Status of failures”: An existing form sheet can be opened from the results table via the context menu.
[x] Project State: Optionally, HTML export can now be optimized for representation in Excel.

Date of Release:

16. July 2010

Service Pack IQ Version 6.0 – 0.0.5.1

General:
[x] The Dialog in the menu “File | Reorganize Document…” now additionally includes the option “Update embedded documents and graphics”
[x] Links in notes and bookmarks: When a link pointing to an embedded document is going to be executed, a dialog asks, whether the original file shall be opened (if available) or the embedded document with reading access.
[x] Deadlines for global actions can now also be assigned variant specifically.
[x] Copy/Insert/Drag&Drop: If objects with embedded documents (e.g. in notes) were copied into another file, the original file names in the embedded documents were lost. This has been fixed.
[x] The structure type “Logistics” is available now.
[x] The attribute “ID number” of the failure is now available in all IQ products.
[x] For the conversion of names, under certain circumstances the wrong code page was used. This has been fixed.

Workstation Settings:
[x] For the access to the LDAP-Server a user and password can be set in the workstation settings now.

CARM-Server Interaction:
[x] In the CARM Server Administration the document language can be set. For “CSS Catalogues” this can be done for client and server data separately.
[x] Remote Configuration: Test emails are always going to be sent by the CARM Server now. (Precondition for this is a CARM Server version greater than 0.0.0.1)
[x] CSS Module: Uploading of modules to the CARM Server did not include the classification of functions. This has been fixed.
[x] CSS Module: If a certificate is sent via “CSS Module Access Rights”, the certificate is going to be created automatically, provided that it does not exist (anymore).
[x] Enhanced error handling for the sending of emails
[x] If the setting “Create html export files for all languages available in the fme document” was applied on the CARM Server, the document setting “Create Web Publisher export files” was not taken into account in the CSA Web Publisher. All FME documents were always exported. This has been fixed.
[x] The new document settings for the CSA PDF Publisher (“Create PDF Publisher export files” and “Copy database to archive domain”) are available now.
[x] Navigation in the Web Publisher result has been changed:
– Documents: Failure and function nets are divided into two separate topics now
– In the topics “Failure Net”, “Function Net”, “Fault Tree” and “Cause and Effect Diagram” the objects are listed in grouops, for structures and system elements
– Objects: In the object index of objects that are typified the system element is added in brackets (given that only one instances exists) to facilitate the orientation. If there are multiple instances, a tabular list with the anchoring follows on the next page.
[x] If a problem occurs with the configuration file during the start of the CARM Server, the CARM Server is always going to be terminated. The possibility to choose another configuration file has been removed.
[x] CSA Module: When a module is being updated, Control Plans are going to be versioned only once.
[x] A search in the IQ-Explorer with “CARM-Server | Find newer modules…” did not have any results on the first attempt. This has been fixed.
[x] If “Search within the CARM-Server (CSS Module)” is used in the IQ-Explorer, the CSS Module Access Rights are taken into account.

Data Manager:
[x] Merging of symbolic deadlines is available now.
[x] User Defined Strings: If a string was inserted for one language (not reference language), this string was adopted automatically in the reference language, preconditioned that no entry existed there so far. This has been fixed.

Document Settings:
[x] The creation of PDF documents for the current FME file through the CSA PDF Publisher can now be configured via the Document Settings (Tools | Document Settings | CSS/CSA)

Editors (general):
[x] The status bar has been enhanced with a mouse sensitive area, which shows the condition of the variant edit mode and with which the variant edit mode can be activated or deactivated.

Failure Net Editor:
[x] Functional Safety: A new display option “SIL/ASIL (Maximum)” is available now.

FMEA Forms Editor:
[x] Bosch Layout: during assigning of notes for S-values at an error detection or error response an error occurred. This has been fixed.
[x] Creating of new “none” actions:
– a new “none” action is being created and the attribute “will be included in the FMEA form” is set
– if a “none” action already existed in the structure, the attribute is set.
[x] Filtering of Requirements is possible now.

FMEDA Form:
[x] Validity checks in the areas “% Distr.” and “FM FIT” (additional yellow and red coloring)
[x] To avoid a redundant display, the FIT column has been moved left to the system element.
[x] The right section (SD, SU, DD, DU) can no longer be edited.
[x] Non relevant entries in the columns (SD, SU, DD, DU) are displayed in gray color.

FMEA Forms Management:
[x] After copying the command “Adopt header data” is available. This command adopts the header data of the copied FMEA form to all the marked FMEA forms.

IQ-Explorer:
[x] Layout of the HTML export of the results list and info table has been reworked.
[x] The available interface languages are now being adopted in the search filter database as database languages. This is relevant for the translation of the names and notes of the search filters.
[x] During deleting single entries in the results list (Shift + Delete) an error could occur (index out of collection bounds). This has been fixed.
[x] The operation philosophy for the info table in the IQ-Explorer has been changed as follows:

– Info table now always displays the info table for the selected object (in most of the cases a display similar to VDA)
– The option “Show measures and requests as a deadline table” has been removed.

Instead of that, additionally to the normal info table via the right click menu (“Info table”),also different tables are available for the results:

– Deadline table: lists a deadline table for actions (or, if a customer requirement was selected, for customer requirements) similar to the deadline editor.
– The option “Display columns for actions and causes in the result list like in the form” affects the columns in the results list as well as this deadline table for actions, so that here the columns for causes, failure modes and effects are faded in.
– Variant comparative presentation: lists for all objects of the results list (that have the same database as the selected object) (rows) and all according variants (columns) the variant specific information. This table can be especially helpful in combination with the system filter “Variant specific defined Object attributes”.
– Table with work out state (Assistant): lists for all objects of the results list the consistency criteria that are violated according to the assistant rules.
[x] Results list (grouped): for failures/operating conditions/error detections/error responses, the column “operating conditions (effects)” is included (via display options “show the grouped result list with additional information (notes, user defined attributes, top effects)”) in the grouped results list (and with that implicitly also in the export).
[x] When a variant is active, during a search the variant edit mode is taken into account (works like no variant was active).

Project Management:
[x] In the Project Management dialog a filter can be selected directly now, which is executed during the opening of the structure.

Statistics:
[x] Changes at certain display options were not adopted for the print / presentation print. This has been fixed.
[x] Responsibility Analysis: If a ‘real’ responsible is assigned for a symbolic responsible, the actions are counted at the ‘real’ responsible. The bar for the symbolic responsible is left out then.
[x] Responsibility Analysis: Display of persons in the table according to the settings in “Tools | Document Settings | Person View”.
[x] When clicking the button “Reset” in the display options (Axes) under certain circumstances an error occurred. This has been fixed.
[x] Difference Analysis: When the user cut the X-axis, with this, also the maximum number of revision states was reduced (only in the graphics). This has been fixed.
[x] The display options (tab “Settings”) the settings for causes sometimes were showed wrong. This has been fixed.
[x] Pareto Analysis: The display of the set causes (direct or root causes) in the table header was not correct. This has been fixed.
[x] Pareto, Frequency, Difference: For the analysis of FMEA forms, different options for causes are available now.

Structure Editor:
[x] Search: When the user searched again after the first match, further results were not displayed. This has been fixed.

Search/Filter:
[x] Autofilter in Structure Editor/FFA/Net editors: The filter context menu now includes, in analogy to the FMEA form, the command to remove a filter.
[x] The criterion “Status” is now also available for action groups.
[x] The criterion “contains not”, in combination with (e.g. responsible), works again now.
[x] The criterion “Severity (Maximum) is now also available for causes and effects (except table editors).
[x] Filters can be cascaded now with Drag&Drop. They are executed in the given order then, so that the object has to match both/all filters.
[x] The criterion “DC value” is now available for effects, failure modes (failures), causes and actions (except table editors).
[x] The criterion “DC-Value” is initialized with the value 0. This is also the reference value for not assigned DC-values.
[x] The build-up of the filter details information in the properties dialog has been reworked.
[x] New filter criterion: actions, action groups and revision states for “Debased after reevaluation (D or O)” [x] New filter criterion: Structure by “Degree of progress of Structure”
[x] Interface filters cannot be deleted after they were used.
[x] Filters, that are subordinate to an interface filter, cannot be deleted or copied.
[x] Mechatronics specific criteria were moved into an own section beam (Mechatronic criterias)
[x] The reference to mechatronic levels (failure mode has error detection with…) is now complemented with the name “effect”, because this reference is defined, always to refer to the effects tree.
[x] New criterion “Failure net component equals failure | error detection | error response | operating condition” for the causes and effects level. This enables a determination within the causes or effects column.
[x] ID-Number as criterion for failures is always available now.
[x] In the filter dialog only “Root filters” can be selected with OK. Filters, which were made subordinate via Drag&Drop can not be chosen with OK.
[x] For system elements, functions, characteristics and failures the new criterion ” is in interface with name contains …” is available now. It enables filtering of objects that are included in an interface with a certain name.
[x] The selection list of criteria now apart from the main criteria also contains the subcategories Mechatronic criterias, Functional safety, DRBFM and Extended.
[x] DRBFM specific criteria are only available in the DRBFM editor and in the IQ-Explorer.
[x] The error “isFilterForServer not understood” has been fixed.
[x] Criterion “Classification” for levels below system element refers to the actual level, where the criterion is assigned.

Table editors:
[x] In the edit mode the background color of the cell was defective. This has been fixed.

XML-Interface:
[x] XML data that was created with nation ISO character sets (ANSI), are, now in version 6, converted to the right Unicode characters under consideration of the code page.
[x] The Project Number has been included in the XML-Interface.
[x] The ex-/import of the automatic classification parameters works again (for DTD V 2.2.0)
[x] If the first and last name contains the same text, only the last name is going to be imported.
[x] If no type is set at typified objects, the import merges instances under a possibly existing type with the same name.
[x] Additional options are now ex-/imported for FMEA forms (e.g. which effects shall be displayed).
[x] For the import of languages a text comparison is used now.
[x] For the assignment of the structure type a text comparison is used now.
[x] The dialog box for the creation of FMEA forms (if none exists so far) was extended for the structure elements, which have failures with effects without further effects.
[x] FMEA forms can now also be created as group or single form (selection via dialog option)

Analysis-Desktop:
[x] Editor “Failure Status”: Under certain circumstances an error occurred with the command “->FMEA forms editor” in the context menu. This has been fixed.

Maintenance Customers (new functionality, that is available only for maintenance customers)

IQ-Explorer:
[x] New command “Result-List as autofilter for…” in the right click menu available now. It opens the editor that can be selected in a submenu, with an autofilter. This ensures, that only objects from the results list are displayed.

[x] The button “Languages” (Settings | Printer Settings) allows the user to select the languages for the presentation print.

Structure Interfaces:
[x] It is now possible to create an interface document from a structure or part of a structure contained in a source document. The interface document and the source document can then be changed independently and the changes can be combined using the process of consolidation.

Variant Interfaces:
It is now possible to create an interface document based on a variant in a source document. The interface document will only contain the data and attributes specific for the selected variant (the “interface variant”). The source document and the variant document can then be changed independently and the changes can be combined using the process of consolidation. During consolidation, all changes in the interface document are interpreted as variant specific changes:
– a change in an attribute is always a change a variant specific change if this attribute can be variant specific. That means for example the changing the significance of a failure only changes the significance in the interface variant
– Objects that are deleted in the variant interface will only be excluded from the interface variant in the consolidated document. They are not deleted in the master
– new objects will only be visible in the interface variant and the master after consolidation. He will not be visible in any other variants of the source document

Service Pack IQ Version 6.0 – 0.0.3.6

General:
[x] Table Editors: Columns can now be faded out with right click on the column label.
[x] Cover Sheet: the caption of the company logo is treated like field names.
[x] If an object has neither an entry in the current language, nor an entry in the reference language, the description of the interface language is used as far as possible.

Notes List:
[x] The command “Purge unused documents/graphics” in certain data constellations deleted still used embedded documents. This has been fixed.

Notes:
[x] Empty paragraphs between paragraphs with different formats can possibly vanish. This has been fixed.

Data Manager | Terminology/Translation:
[x] The display of objects can now be limited to projects or structures (Menu “View | Limit to projects/structures”). The limitation affects the display in the editor, the print and the (Excel-) export.
Note: Entries that have no instances or objects that can not be assigned to a structure or project are always displayed.

Drag&Drop:
[x] Copy/move of requirements in the FMEA form has been revised.

FFA:
[x] Table Print: The folded levels were not taken into account, when variants/filters were active. This has been fixed.
[x] When the user synchronizes into the FFA from an editor where a variant is active, the variant is assumed there.

[x] If the HREF of Image/Anchor tags included a “#”, the reference did not work. This has been fixed.

IQ Explorer:
[x] The option “Search within all structure variants of the specified IQ-document” causes, that it is always search in all variants and eventually search results are listed multiple times. When the option is active, in the tab “Document Search” all variants are marked permanently. This option can also be activated/deactivated via the status bar.
[x] After changing the interface language the display of the filters in the extended toolbar was faulty. This has been fixed.
[x] Additional info for print/export has been supplemented by adding the top effects.

Object Info:

Update from/vom 18.11.2009 (Service Pack V6 – 0.0.3.2):

A bug in the variant interface was fixed. This bug could happen if the primary document contained more than one variant.

General:
[x] Notify People Responsible with HTML (as MAPI): The entry field for CC has been filled in wrong. Depending from the Mail Client (e.g. Outlook) this caused an error message. This has been fixed.
[x] For characteristics it is now possible to define via attributes, whether they shall be included in the FMEA form or not.
[x] For actions and characteristics additional Hotclick Icons that signalize the attributes “will be included in the FMEA form” and “will be included in the control plan” were established
[x] With the start of the IQ-Software the name of the computer is written into the file “userreg.log”. As soon as the maximum number of users is reached and the software cannot be started anymore, this file can be displayed on the users wish. So it’s visible on which workstations the IQ-Software is currently running. The file “userreg.log” is included in the Workgroup Directory. To be able to use this feature, writing access to this file has to be ensured.
[x] For process elements a further Hotclick Icon has been established. This icon is displayed whenever the process element is connected to a machine. The display can be activated or deactivated via the Display Options.
[x] For characteristics an additional Hotclick Icon has been established. This icon is displayed whenever the characteristic is connected to an inspection equipment. The display can be activated or deactivated via the Display Options.

Properties Dialog:
[x] The variantspecific selection of machines with activated variant did not work. This has been fixed.

Export/Import:
[x] The export/import (EXP file) now also includes requirements.

FFA:
[x] An existing selection remains after activation/deactivation of variants or switch on/off of the variant edit mode, if possible.

Filter Dialog:
[x] Drag&Drop of filter criterions: If criterions can not be anchored at the target, they are listed in a info dialog with an accordant message.
[x] The buttons “New” and “Copy” now open a dialog, where apart from the name entry it can also be defined whether the new filter should be an easy or detail filter. Depending from this choice, after that the dialog for the selection of criteria or kinds.
[x] For effects also the kind “has actions with…” is available now.
[x] Help: The help within the filter dialog could not be displayed. This has been fixed.
[x] The value of a filter criterion can now also be inserted with multiple selection (if all selected are the same criterion, e.g. name).
[x] The value can now also be deleted if there is a multiple selection.
[x] When criteria are deleted, the list keeps the scroll position.

HTML notes:
[x] The background color can now be chosen from a color dialog.

IQ-Explorer:
[x] the setting whether background search shall be applied is now saved in the configuration file (CFG file) and so continues also after termination of the program.

[x] The Systemdefined Filter “Variantspecific defined Objectattributes” at failures also takes into account causes/effects.
[x] The info table for the System Filter “Variantspecific defined Objectattributes” is printed with header data on each page. Fonts and columns widths remain untouched.
[x] Right Click Menu: if objects of different variants are marked in the results list, always the properties dialog for all objects of the same variant is opened at once. The prepared changes refer to exactly this variant then.
[x] When the display option “Open the databases to search with read-write mode” is active, search results from any database (Extended Search) can be edited (so far this was confined to the Document Search).
[x] The text search in the results list and info table has been improved.
[x] In the right click menu the entries “Add to variant” and “Remove from variant” are available now. In the subsequent dialog it can be chosen to which variants the marked search results shall be added or from which they shall be removed (note: only available for Document Search).
[x] If a search result was created variantspecific, in the column structure/variant a “V” is prefixed. In this case the changes in the properties dialog are also executed variantspecific (note: only available for Document Search).

This batch file can also be executed, if the update file is dragged onto the batch file, e.g. in the Windows Explorer. The batch file executes the two steps with the parameters that are described in the installation manual. If only one user is logged in, the IQ-Software is terminated and the batch file with the update is executed. In all other cases a message pops up with the notice, that the update should be started manually later.

[x] When the system filter “Variantspecific defined Objectattributes” was applied on FMEA forms, an error occured. This has been fixed.
[x] Autofilter for RPN in the FMEA form: if a criterion for RPN exists already, the software asks, whether the new RPN should be added to the filter. So far only the smaller one of the two was used. This has been changed and now for the RPN criteria always the value of the current selection is assumed.
[x] For Automatic Structure filters now also the dependent information for intermediate system elements (actions etc.) is displayed, even if they don’t match the filter.
[x] For system elements now also the level “has system element with…” can be included.
[x] The criteria OxD, SxO and SxD are available for revision states, actions groups and actions now.

Availability of IQ-Software Version 6 (Updated: 2009-09-30)

APIS IQ-Software Version 6 – What’s New

Unicode

In IQ Version 6 the data within an fme file can be stored in unicode format. Therefore the restriction to ANSI characters is no longer inevitable. Complete unicode functionality is only available in APIS IQ-FMEA PRO and APIS IQ-RM PRO. These flavors also include Chinese as interface language.
VDA / AIAG

VDA FMEA (2nd edition) and AIAG FMEA (4th edition) are supported by new valuation catalogs, new form layouts, new statistical analysis types, and action state categories.

Categories for action states:

• Development
• Customer operation
• Service

The list of categories can be extended by the user.

New possible value for the status of an action:

• untouched
• in decision (new)
• in revision
• finished
• irrelevant

Global Action

Actions now can be defined as “global”. If responsibility, status, or deadline of a global action is modified, then all occurrences of this global action will be modified..

Filter

IQ Version 6 now supports filter for structures, lists, function nets, and failure nets.

Filters can be used in the following editors:

• Structure Editor
• Function Failure Analysis (FFA)
• Function Net Editor
• Failure Net Editor

Mechatronics FMEA

The analysis of modern systems including error detections and error responses requires an advanced causality approach. Beyond this, operating conditions should be considered in a mechatronical system. Version 6 of the APIS IQ Software offers functionality to deal with these mechatronical systems.

It’s possible to integrate operating conditions, error detections, and error responses into the failure net. Error detections and error responses are derived from previously defined functions. It’s also possible to define failures for error detections and error responses. This is necessary because error detections and error responses themselves can be deficient. Therefore this also must be regarded for the risk analysis.

Objekt Inspector

The Object Inspector was revised and extended in the following ways:

• Objects can be modified
• Data structures can be built
• Object attributes are grouped by tabs
• Modifying object attributes and defining new objects can be done easily
• An explanation of the object attributes can be shown
• Variant specific attributes of the inspected object are shown in detail

Template File

The template file (NORMAL.FMT) was extended to include the following options:

• Symbolic deadlines
• Notes categories
• Function categories (DRBFM)
• Operationg conditions
• Product modification categories (DRBFM)
• Action state categories
• Statistical analysis schemes

Traffic Light Colors for FMEA Form Sheet

• Highlighting of critical regions using appropriate colors
• Ranges for each color can be defined by the user

User Defined Configuration (Customization Manager)

The Customization Manager offers the possibility to customize the IQ-Software to the users needs. Different configurations can be defined and saved. When starting the IQ software the user can select one of the defined configuration for the current session.

Hybrid Arrangement of Functions and Characteristics

Functions and characteristics of a system element can be arragent in mixed order.

Simultaneous Engineering

The differences of a file and the copy of this file can be shown using the Consolidation Desktop.

Extended Risk Matrix

The extened risk matrix shows the number of causes within a matrix. All possible combinations of O*D and S will be counted.The cells of the matrix are classifed using the colors red, yellow and green. For each cell an RPN can be calculated. The number of occurrences of a certain RPN is shown in the cell.

Statistical Evaluations

IQ Version 6 supports the following structure based statistical evaluations:

• Pareto analysis
• Frequency analysis
• Difference analysis
• Risik matrix

The FMEA form sheet based Pareto Analysis now offers the possibility to schoose between “Direct causes only” and “Root causes only” (-> Analysis scheme | Edit)

Spell Check

IQ offers a dictionary, which can be used for spell checking. (Tools | Spell check…). The initial dictionary (located in the workgroup directory) can be extended by the user.

XML Interface MSR)

The XML interface was adjusted to the data model of Version 6. XML files will be written according to the current definition (msrfmea_2_2_0.ml.dtd). Furthermore, unicode encoding (UTF-8) will be used.
