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
• MIL-HDBK 217 Plus
• IEC TR 62380 (RDF 2000)
• NSWC handbook
• GJB/z 299B and 299C
• Siemens SN 29500/IEC 61709 Predictions
• 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.
• Components can be predicted in phased manner by using the various temperature conditions.
• 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.
• Able to plot the parameter profile, mission profile and block profile.
• Able to do the derating.
• 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 XML, Excel, Clipboard, Access, SQL Server, Oracle and other formats.
• Powerful reporting features allow you to create professional standard reports at the click of a button.
