Team QSI is pleased to announce another release of the 13.0.x series.

13.0.4 comes with several new features and bug.

Features

• Users can now short all AND nodes with a single click in DFT to see single fault propagation beyond AND nodes. 
• Users can now toggle individual Switches and Smart Switches to any desired position during DFT, without regards to system modes.  
• Users can now select individual functions on a failure mode during DFT. 
• Users can now generate a DFT Screengrabs Report of all Single Fault and Single Test scenarios for a model using the DFT Screengrabs feature found in the file menu. 
• Warnings were added for users when models are loaded from OneDrive or other remote storage (as this can cause a considerable slow down). 
• AND nodes that do not have enough branches connected in the Fault Tree Report are now kept and shown with reduced margins. An example of when this might happen is when there is a configuration change that disconnects some branches of the AND node. 
• Considerable speed up of the Cut Sets Generation from the Fault Tree Report. 
• Users can now limit their Exports to Impact Analysis to only System Wide Effects. In some models, this can reduce the D-Matrix size and computation time.  
• Impact Analysis Map files now contain Effect Isolation Levels (System Wide, Intermediate, or Local).

Bugfixes

• An issue was fixed with Windows Defender preventing installations of TEAMS-Designer on some PCs. 
• Issues with Windows 11 and disappearing menu controls has been resolved. 
• Canvas input and output ports now distribute across the entire height of the canvas.  
• Incorrect information in the About page was corrected. 

On the security side of things, some native components have been updated.

• Microsoft Visual C++ updated to version 14.38.33135.0
• curl updated to version 8.6.0

As NASA and the space community, in general, strive to push the boundaries of space travel with planned deep-space missions, increased system autonomy and resiliency have inevitably become key technology needs. Designing these complex systems requires a multi-disciplinary approach that connects fault management (FM) with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to ensure that resilient, fault-tolerant systems are architected and modeled during the design phase. NASA has been using TEAMS^® as their fault management tool of choice for several decades. NASA also uses Systems Modeling Language (SysML) for systems engineering, including the design, specification, verification, and validation of systems.

SysML v2 is the upcoming revision of the SysML, and QSI is working with SysML v2 Submission Team (SST), a diverse group of end users, vendors, academics, and government liaisons involved in the development of SysML v2 specifications, to extend the SysML v2 for Fault Management and Diagnostics. In a SBIR project funded by NASA, QSI demonstrated translation capabilities from a SysML v2 model to a TEAMS^® model, which will enable Systems Engineers to analyze the fault management aspects of a system design captured in SysML v2  using QSI’s Model based reasoning COTS product, TEAMS^®-Designer. Using TEAMS®-Designer, analysts may perform Fault Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Fault Tree Analysis to analyze, quantify and improve the diagnostics and availability of the system. The improvements resulting from such analysis can be brought back into SysML in industry standard formats such as the Risk Analysis and Assessment Modeling Language (RAAML), facilitating broader stakeholder visibility.

Recently, the DoD SysML v2 Transition Project hosted a 1-day SysML v2 Transition Information Session at the INCOSE 2024 IW in Torrance, California. The project, led by the DoD Digital Engineering, Modeling, and Simulation Office, provides guidance to assist organizations in their transition to SysML v2. QSI’s multidisciplinary approach to integrate Fault Management analysis with Systems Engineering was presented in INCOSE 24.

• Align controls in FMECA Analysis dialog
• And Nodes and Smart Switches limited to 16 input ports
• Update third party dependencies

Team QSI is proud to announce another TEAMS-RDS release in the pipeline.

User Management page for System Admins and Administrators has some new features lurking. First you can now search for users. Enter any piece of user information stored in TEAMS-RDS to find user(s). Second enabled / disabled users are now visually differentiated. Hovering over a user’s login name will tell you the exact status of the user. Third you can enable / disable a user right from the page. No more having to export to CSV, edit and import.

On the security side of things, we updated some native components.

Team QSI is pleased to announce another release of the 13.0.x series in 2022. ?

In 13.0.2, you will find some epic features along with the usual bug fixes.

First off, DFT feedback now highlights the links to Transmitters and the links to Receivers. Users can also traverse the Receivers by right clicking on a Transmitter in DFT. Should help to make more sense of your model.

Next, fault trees can now be generated in batches. No more 1 tree, then another and … you get the picture. Have no fear, you will not be headed to the command line to generate the trees in batch. TEAMS-Designer comes with a GUI to select the effects and options. Requires your license to have the Advanced FMECA option.

Bugs Fixed:

• Effect Attribute Drops from Function type upon Importing Modules
• Transmitters and Receivers lose their associations sometimes
• Receiver position changes after opening its properties and closing the dialog, happens when model is zoomed out
• AND Node Port Name text box height does not adjust
• Converting from Smart Switch to AND node drops the number of ports and port labels
• Effect name in Effect point gets modified with underscores for spaces after fault tree generation
• Fixed an error when opening tmsx file generated using ‘Export Model as XML file Ver.12.5.5’, in TEAMS-Designer 12.5.5
• Fixed missing AND node port names when model is saved as 12.5.5 version
• Fixed a crash when converting AND node to Smart Switch using the right click menu (in Fault Tree licensed TEAMS-Designer)

Hope you like the release! We’ll see you next time partner …

Team QSI is proud to announce another TEAMS-RDS release in the pipeline.

Some issues with the session log reporting facility were fixed in this release. Session status contained an integer value when it should have been a string. Now we will only ever output a string value.

Online case suspends and resumes are being added to the session log report. Done to keep consistency between TEAMATE and TEAMS-RDS. To better help you capture metrics of your Field Service organizations performance.

On the security side of things, we updated two native components.

• curl updated to version 7.82.0
  • curl did not have any vulnerabilities, but QSI is in the habit of updating dependencies when new releases are available.
• eXpat updated to version 2.4.7
  • A few security vulnerabilities were found in eXpat 2.4.2 since the release of TEAMS-RDS 13.0.0. See eXpat’s github page for the CVEs in question.

See you next release!
