addActive: Add an Active Component Event

In jto888/FaultTree: Fault Trees for Risk and Reliability Analysis

Add an Active Component Event

Description

Modifies an existing fault tree with the addition of an active component event.

Usage

addActive(DF, at, mttf, mttr, display_under=NULL, tag="", label="",
 name="",name2="",description="")

Arguments

DF	A fault tree dataframe such as returned from ftree.make or related add... functions.
at	The ID of the parent node for this addition.
mttf	The mean time to failure. It is the user's responsibility to maintain constant units of time.
mttr	The mean time to repair (restore). It is the user's responsibility to maintain constant units of time.
display_under	Optionally, the ID of a sibling event under an OR gate for vertical alignment of the component node in the graphic display.
tag	A very short identifying string (typically 5 characters or less) uniquely identifying a basic event for minimal cutset evaluation
label	An identifying string for the logic gate. Use of label in ftree.make defines the convention for rest of tree construction.
name	A short identifying string (typically less than 24 characters)
name2	A second line, if needed for the identifying string label
description	An optional string providing more detail for the basic event.

Value

Returns the input fault tree dataframe appended with an entry row for the defined component event.
