This chapter describes a process for taking a functional group of components, applying FMEA analysis and then determining how that functional group can fail.

For a top down technique this would correspond to a low~level sub-system. For a top down technique this would correspond to a low~level sub-system.
%The technique uses a graphical notation, based on Euler\cite{eulerviz} and Constraint diagrams\cite{constraint} to model failure modes and failure mode common symptom collection. The technique is designed for making building blocks for a hierarchical fault model. %The technique uses a graphical notation, based on Euler\cite{eulerviz} and Constraint diagrams\cite{constraint} to model failure modes and failure mode common symptom collection.
