CHAPTER 15
Library Facilities
ITEM ToolKit contains several library facilities. The first facility is referred to as "Library Project" and is functionally identical
to a regular "Project File", with the addition of another "System Window" labeled "Library System Window". This allows
storage, and retrieval of any system, block, or component, including gates, events, or segments (branch) of a fault trees and RBD
diagrams. Libraries of this type can be opened as windows on the workspace, or loaded in the background via the Library
Lookup Manager.
The second facility, "Failure Model Library" handles storage and retrieval of distribution models. The Failure Model Library
also has the capability to store and retrieve from a disk file, allowing the content of the library to be shared with other projects.
This is discussed further in the separate Fault Tree User Manual.
This chapter covers:
1. Creating a new Library Project
2. Adding and Extracting From a Library Project
3. Saving and Closing a Library Project
4. Loading and Browsing a Library
1. Creating a New Library Project
Creating a library project is very similar to creating a regular project file. Select New Library from the File menu. Alternatively
to open an existing library, select Open Library from the File menu.
