10.1.STPA Projects

The STPA Module makes use of STPA projects as containers for the analysis. Multiple STPA projects can co-exist in parallel. However, they are completely separate and do not share any information.

How to: Start STPA Project

 

  1. Click the + icon to Create a New STPA Project.
  2. In the popup enter a unique name for the new project.
  3. Then select the appropriate Business Entity from the drop down list and click OK button to save the new project to the database.
    *A Business Entity is a requirement for every project. The BE can be the name of the organization, a code name, or the name of the project itself. The BE is necessary for the database tables created with the project.

 

After opening your newly created project you will see the STPA Project Overview panel with navigation tree and toolbar.

The name of your project is at the top of the tree and automatically the Model and Analysis are named the same as the project. Double click your model in the tree and a new context tab opens displaying:

  1. Edit the name of the model
  2. Enter the System Goals of the project
  3. Enter the Description of the model

 

*If you prefer to begin your STPA project with identifying Losses, then you will need to double click Losses in the Navigation tree. The Losses tab will open and you click the + to begin entering in losses for the analysis.
