BowTie

Causes and consequences around a central event

Industrial Risks menu → 8. BowTie

Each diagram can use Simple mode—cause and consequence barriers without calculations—or Advanced mode with logic gates, probabilities, minimal cut sets and direct PHA import.

What you will do

  1. Create a diagram and select its mode at creation time. A diagram's mode cannot be changed later.
  2. In Simple mode, place causes and consequences around the central event and add barriers.
  3. In Advanced mode, import a hazard-study PHA scenario, add logic gates and probabilities, and enable automatic calculation.

Pitfall to avoid. The selected mode structures the entire diagram. If unsure, start with Simple mode, which is faster to explore.
