Introduction
- The reliability prediction module of Reliability Workbench enables you to predict failure rates for a set of components under given operational and environmental conditions.
- These failure rate calculations as defined by the standard and provides with the results like overall component and system failure rate.
Prediction Standards
- The Reliability Workbench Prediction module includes the following standards:
- Telcordia SR-332 Issues 2 and 3
- MIL-HDBK-217
- Quanterion 217 Plus
- IEC TR 62380 (RDF 2000)
- NSWC handbook
- GJB/z 299B and 299C
- Siemens SN 29500
- FIDES
Benefits
- Able to define the components in the system in a tree structure
- Able to predict the failure rate of the components and system failure rate using the standards.
- The contributions of components failure rates to blocks and systems failure rates can be easily displayed.
- The effects of stresses caused by the various environmental conditions can be examined.
- The overstressed components can be evaluated from the derating analysis of the components.
- The derating analysis can be performed using defined standards.
- A powerful graphing facility can display the variation of predicted failure rates with ambient temperature, stress and environment settings for an entire system or individual blocks and components.
- The maintainability tasks can be easily attached to the components.
- Commonly used components can be entered once in a library and then pulled into the project tree each time when the component is used.
- Information can be imported from Excel, Access, SQL Server, Oracle and other formats.
- Powerful reporting features allow you to create professional standard reports at the click of a button.
