Generating Fault Tree Reports

You can create reports of your Fault Tree diagram, in a diagram or tabular format, your Fault Tree Table, in a tabular format, and your Fault Tree calculation results tables.

Generating Fault Tree Diagram Reports

To generate a report of your fault tree diagram, from the Fault Tree Diagram pane, click Report from the Sidebar. The Report Options dialog appears.


Enter a Report Title , which will appear at the top  of the Fault Tree diagram report.

For Fault Trees, select which fault trees to include in the report. Select from:

  • Current Fault Tree
  • Current Fault Tree and Subtrees
  • All Fault Trees and Subtrees

For Report Type, choose:

  • Diagram Report - the Fault Tree diagram will be shown in a graphical format on a new browser tab.
  • Tabular Report - the Fault Tree diagram details will be generated to an Excel format (.xlsx) downloaded to your default downloads directory, where a worksheet is created for each Top Gate and Transfer Gate in the fault tree; Names of Transfer Gates will appear as links and when clicked navigate to the worksheet for the Transfer gate.

Note that the remaining details apply only for Report Type of Diagram Report.

For Scale PDF Export to, choose:

  • Report Paper Size - if the Fault Tree diagram is exported to PDF, it will be scaled based on the Report Paper Size, set via Settings
  • Diagram Size - if the Fault Tree diagram is exported to PDF, it will be scaled based on the size of the Fault Tree diagram

Select Break Fault Tree into Transfer Diagrams, if preferred. Due to scaling and pagination settings, if needed, branches will be broken into Transfer Diagrams that show branch details on another page.

Select Show Page Number on Transfer Gates, if preferred. When Transfer Gates are used, either as created in the Fault Tree diagram or as added from the report generation, a reference to the page number for the branch details will be denoted with the Transfer Gate.

For Orientation, choose:

  • Portrait - the report page will be set so it is taller than it is wider
  • Landscape - the report page will be set so it is wider than it is tall

For First page number, enter the desired first page number for the fault tree diagram report; this can be helpful if the report will be a specific set of page numbers in a larger deliverable.
