- Select the Edit command in the Model Builder menu. A window displaying all of the models, sub-models, and factors for the selected mechanism appears (see Figure 58). Highlight and select the item you wish to edit.

- 8.4.4.2 The Edit Command
The Edit command is used to modify a model, sub-model, or factor already in the failure model library. This makes the library more versatile, because it gives you the option of changing the parameters of the failure model to match user-specific conditions. The mechanism to be modified must be loaded first.
If you select a constant for deletion and it is used by a model, an error message appears, informing you the constant cannot be deleted (see Figure 59).
8.5 The Report Manager
The Report Manager, present in the Display option, enables you to generate, format, edit, display, and print reports. (See Figure 61).
Remember that you must set up the Report Manager for your printer in the Setup option of Report Manager.
(See Figures 72 & 73, section 8.5.1.5).
