This activity is used to define stress ratings for template parts.
Stress ratings are used to indicate under which stress or tension (thrust) the part or configuration is being used. Stress ratings are typically entered for the top template part of a structure but they can also be entered on a lower template level in the structure. A stress rating has an impact if the template structure contains life limited parts (LLPs).
Stress ratings may be defined manually or copied from one template part to another. In addition, a default stress rating may be defined.
After stress ratings are defined for the template part, life limits may be defined for the LLPs in a template structure.
For more information on the life limit concept, refer the online help file Life Limits Concept in IFS Fleet and Asset Management.
For more information on defining life limits, refer the online help file Define Life Limits. For more information on setting stress ratings for serials, refer the online help file Set Current Stress Rating.
A template part must exist with a template structure. The structure must contain life limited parts (LLPs).
