Importing ASENT data into EAGLE

Importing ASENT Data Into EAGLE
Importing ASENT data into EAGLE is accomplished with a
simple two-step process:
1) Export the ASENT data using ASENT’s LSAR interface, and
2) Import the ASENT fullfile into EAGLE.
Importing ASENT Data Into EAGLE
Invoke EAGLE and
select the
Administration
discipline from the
EAGLE Navigator.
Double-click on the
‘Import Fullfile’
function.
Importing ASENT Data Into EAGLE
From the Import
Fullfile window, fill
in the End Item name,
select 1388-2B for
the input type, and
click on the Input File
Browse button to
select the ASENT
fullfile to import.

When you click on
the Browse button
this screen will
appear. Navigate to
the folder that
contains the ASENT
fullfile, select the file,
and click on the Save
button.

Back at the Import
Fullfile window, click
on the ‘Modify
Fullfile Settings’
button, and click on
the ‘Only LSAR
Tables’ tab.

Click on the ‘Only

the Modify Fullfile
Settings window and
click on the OK
button.

Click on the Execute
icon on the EAGLE
toolbar, and when
asked whether or not
to overwrite the
existing report and
message files, click
on the Yes buttons.

This is an example of
the status screen that
is displayed as the
ASENT fullfile is
being imported.
Importing ASENT Data Into EAGLE
After the import the
user is given the
option of viewing the
message file. This can
sometimes be helpful
if an error occurred
during the import.
Normally, the user
can just click on the
‘No’ button.
Importing ASENT Data Into EAGLE
The easiest way to view
the results of the import
is to do the following:
1) Click on the End
Item toolbar icon and
choose the End Item
that was just imported,
2) select the
Breakdown Structure
discipline and the
Breakdown Structure
function. Create the
breakdown structure.
Importing ASENT Data Into EAGLE
Here, the breakdown
structure is displayed
for the product tree
that was exported
from ASENT. By
navigating around
EAGLE you can see
failure rate, MTBF
information, along
with the FMECA,
Availability, and
Maintainability data
that was imported.
Common Questions
Q: If my failure rates have changed in ASENT or some descriptive data
was changed and I want the changes reflected in EAGLE what do I do?
A: Export the ASENT data as Change/Follow-on Data. In EAGLE
import the fullfile just like you normally would.
Q: If my product tree structure has changed in ASENT and some new
assemblies or boards have been added, how do I pass this to EAGLE?
A: You would accomplish this in two passes: 1) Export the ASENT
data as an initial load and import this fullfile into EAGLE. This will
create entries for the new items and EAGLE will kick out those that
already exist. 2) Export the ASENT data as Change/Follow-on Data. In
EAGLE import the fullfile just like you normally would and now all of
the failure rates and other data should be updated.
In EAGLE, import the 1388-2B flat
file generated by ASENT to quickly
populate the LSAR DB.
Import a complete initial load,
or just the updates that you
need.
ASENT combines a comprehensive export
feature with its ability to import existing
LSAR data, so that design trade-offs for
upgrades and redesigns can be quickly
accessed.
