Risk Analysis Framework: FMEA / FTA / DSM

Three complementary risk analyses (failure mode, fault tree, dependency) sharing a simulation telemetry source.

Prompt

Create a risk analysis framework diagram connecting FMEA, FTA, and DSM to a shared simulation telemetry source.

Layout:
- Left: Simulation telemetry source with signals, faults, dependencies, and performance metrics.
- Three analysis modules in the center: FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis, and Dependency Structure Matrix.
- Show FMEA producing failure modes, severity, occurrence, and detection scores.
- Show FTA producing top-event logic gates and root causes.
- Show DSM producing component dependency clusters.
- Right: integrated risk dashboard with prioritized mitigations and test recommendations.

Style:
- Engineering risk-analysis diagram on white background.
- Use structured boxes, thin connectors, and a compact legend.
- Navy text, teal data flows, amber risk scoring, coral critical paths.
- Publication-ready for systems engineering, reliability, and safety papers.

Use in Generator

When to use

For systems-engineering risk management figures and capstone or qualification reports.

Variations

Add criticality heatmap

Insert a heatmap above the integrated dashboard summarising criticality (S*O*D) per subsystem with red-yellow-green tiers.

Tips

Use distinct icons for each branch (table for FMEA, tree for FTA, matrix for DSM) — these are the conventional visual signatures.
Show a single shared source feeding all three. Without it readers don't see why the methods are complementary.
End on an integrated dashboard — three loose branches without integration look unfinished.

FAQ

Can I add HAZOP as a fourth branch?

Yes — append a fourth column for HAZOP showing process deviations (No flow, More flow, Reverse flow, etc.) with their causes and consequences.
