The Failure Modes Tab

After clearing the Use simple failure rate instead of failure modes checkbox in a reliability element dialog, clicking on the Switch to failure modes page hyperlink or on the Failure Modes tab displays the Failure Modes tab:

   Note:  If a non-zero Failure Rate was defined in the main dialog prior to activating the Failure Modes tab, this failure mode is automatically converted into the first failure mode in the Failure Modes tab.

   Warning:  If, after defining one or more failure modes, you subsequently check the Use simple failure rate instead of failure modes checkbox on the main dialog, all failure modes are permanently deleted.
