Results Based on
System Reliability Function and Simulation
Exact Reliability Results and Plots
Using an exclusive algorithm pioneered
by ReliaSoft, BlockSim
7
algebraically computes the exact system reliability
function for even the most complex system so you can obtain exact system
reliability results based on component data.

Example of Analytical Solution to Complex System]
The Analytical Quick Calculation
Pad (QCP) provides results at the click of a button while the Analytical
Plot Sheet provides a complete array of line, bar and area charts. The software
also provides the ability to set individual blocks as “failed” in order
to facilitate what-if analyses. Metrics that can be obtained computationally
include:
Reliability and Probability of Failure
Failure Rate and MTTF
Warranty Time and B(X) Life
Probability Density Function (pdf) plots
Reliability Importance plots and charts

Reliability,
Maintainability and Availability Results via Simulation
Enhanced in Version
7!
You can use
BlockSim’s
powerful discrete event simulation engine
to obtain reliability, maintainability, availability, resource usage, life
cycle cost, throughput and other results. Simulation results are generated
per system and/or per block (as appropriate) and “Point Results” are also
available to provide a more detailed picture of the system’s operation at
specified intervals across the total simulation time. This extensive collection
of valuable system information is presented in flexible spreadsheets that
support on-the-fly calculations and copy/paste. To enable further analysis
and reporting, it’s easy to export the data to a BlockSim Spreadsheet (maintained
independently within the same project file), ReliaSoft’s Weibull++ and/or
Microsoft Excel®. The Simulation QCP and Simulation Plot Sheet also provide
access to a wide variety of metrics and plots. Some of the available results
include:
Uptime, Downtime, Mean Time to First Failure (MTTFF), Availability, Reliability
Failure Criticality Index, Downing Event Criticality Index
Quantities of CMs (failures), PMs and Inspections
Summaries for Maintenance Crews, Spare Parts and Costs
Throughput Summaries
And much more!

Configure
and Annotate Plot Graphics
BlockSim 7's Plot Setup gives
you full control over the appearance of the plots you create. You can set
the colors, fonts, titles and other chart properties to meet your specific
display preferences. In addition, the RS Draw graphics editor is
integrated with BlockSim's plotting
utility, which allows you to annotate and customize any of the plots that
you generate to illustrate your analysis.
