Can I change my experiment design in DOE++ after I have created
it?
You can make a wide variety of
changes to an existing design in
DOE++. Options
include:
-
You
can
add or delete factors, responses, noise conditions or
runs using the commands in the Sheet menu.
-
You
can
change the properties of factors or responses
in two ways:
-
Double-click the heading of the relevant column and make the
changes in the Add/Modify window that appears.
-
  To
modify multiple factors or responses, choose Factor
Properties or Response Properties from the
Data menu or click the icon in the Control Panel and
make the changes in the properties window that appears.
-
You
can re-order runs (i.e. sort the Design
tab Data Sheet by the Standard Order or Run Order column)
using the Sort By option on the Main page of the
Design tab Control Panel. You can also re-sort the Data
Sheet by any other column using the Sort then Sort
Ascending or Sort Descending commands in the
Sheet menu.
-
 Beginning
with the 1.0.2 Service Release, the Modify Design window
allows you to change an existing design in a variety of
ways. Depending on the type of design you are working with,
this may include the ability to add replicates,
fold the design,
add center points and/or
add an axial block. To access the Modify
Design window, choose Modify Design
from the Data menu or click the icon in the Control
Panel.
-
 For
reliability designs, you can change the life data type
by choosing Alter Data Type from the Data
menu or clicking the icon in the Control Panel to open the
Design Wizard, which provides the time-to-failure data
options that allow you to specify whether your data set
contains right censored, interval censored and/or left
censored data.
How can I add items from another BlockSim project to the project
I'm currently working on?
You can import any item shown in
the Project Explorer from an existing
BlockSim project
into the current BlockSim project by choosing Import
Items from the Project menu or Project Explorer shortcut
menu. This includes Diagram Sheets, Fault Tree Sheets, Phase
Diagram Sheets, Maintenance Template Sheets, Spreadsheets,
MultiPlot Sheets, Templates, Resources, FRED Reports and
Attachments.
You can also have multiple
instances of BlockSim running on your computer, and can
copy/paste or drag/drop one or more blocks to your project
rather than adding the entire sheet. For example, you can select
one or more blocks in an existing reliability block diagram in
one instance of BlockSim and drag them to an RBD in
another project in another instance of
BlockSim. This allows you to copy exactly what you need
quickly and easily. |
