Reliability Block Diagram

All types of reliability configurations are
supported by RBD module:
- Series
- Parallel
- K out of N: active redundancy (hot),
stand-by (cold), partially loaded (warm);
with repair, without repair, with restricted
repair.
All common distributions of time to failure
and time to repair are available:
- Exponential
- Normal
- Log-Normal
- Weibull
- Erlang
- Uniform and others
Features
- Interactive graphic editor with ?Drag
and Drop? feature providing intuitive
display and convenient manipulation tools
for creating of any RBD configuration
- Simple and fast transfer of reliability
and maintainability item data to the RBD
module by selecting the target and source
items on the graphic RBD screen.
- Flexible zoom, color palette, direct
printing of any RBD configuration
- Database for each element includes:
-identification parameters: ref. des., part
number, description, etc.
-type of time-to-failure distribution and
corresponding parameters (e.g., MTBF, Sigma,
etc.)
-type of time-to-repair distribution and
corresponding parameters
Monte Carlo simulation with its' high speed,
accuracy, and large number of steps allows
to evaluate Reliability and Availability for
arbitrary configurations when there is no
analytical solution, i.e. complex
configurations, including standby, partially
loaded and active redundancy; full or
restricted repair with non-exponential
distribution of time-to-repair; analysis
under non-steady, transient state; dependent
RBD elements; analysis of periodical
inspection policy.
