Major upgrade to BlockSim System Analysis Software -
Version 7
 TUCSON,
AZ (March 6, 2007) - ReliaSoft
Corporation released today a major upgrade to the
BlockSim software. BlockSim provides a comprehensive
and flexible platform to model systems and processes
using both reliability block diagram (RBD) and fault
tree analysis (FTA) approaches. Using an exclusive
algorithm pioneered by ReliaSoft, BlockSim algebraically
computes the exact system reliability function, which
can be used to obtain reliability results / plots and to
determine the most cost-effective component reliability
allocation to meet a system reliability goal. In
addition, BlockSim’s sophisticated discrete event
simulation engine considers maintenance policies,
spares, labor, cost and other factors to perform
reliability, availability, resource allocation,
throughput, life cycle cost and related analyses.
Version 7 provides many new and enhanced features,
including:
- Support for the
generalized gamma, gamma, logistic, loglogistic and
Gumbel distributions.
- Phase Diagram
Sheets
model systems that go through different phases
during the course of their operation.
-
Maintenance Phases model scenarios in which a system
goes into maintenance after completing a specific
sequence of phases or skips remaining phases and
goes directly to maintenance if a failure occurs.
- Duty Cycles allows
you to apply a factor to define a duty cycle for a
block that may experience a different stress load
than the other blocks in the diagram.
- A choice of three
models to describe a system’s time-dependent
variable throughput.
- Support for the
Kijima Type I model for Restoration Factor, which
models maintenance that reduces a specified portion
of the damage since the last repair only.
- Resource Usage
window.
- Analytical FRED
Reports.
- And more...
A complete summary of
the new and enhanced features is available on the Web at
