Reliability Software

Rpredict uses Reliability Workbench of IsographDirect (UK) in performing reliability analyses.

Reliability Workbench is an integrated environment for performing Reliability Prediction, Maintainability Prediction, Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) analysis, Fault Tree Analysis, Event Tree Analysis and Markov Analysis.

The Reliability Workbench allows us to develop projects containing data appropriate to one or more of these analysis modules. Data may easily be transferred between these modules simply by using copy and paste and the automatic data transfer facilities.

When operating the Reliability Workbench program we can switch between the various modules in an instant. Each module may be activated by selecting the appropriate tab in the edit window. Data may be transferred between modules simply by copying and pasting the appropriate data. Links between modules are maintained using a powerful data link facility and data can be automatically updated in one module due to changes made in another module. For example, the user may require that a block in a RBD obtain its failure rate from a MIL-217 prediction. The block in the RBD may therefore be linked to a block in the MIL-217 prediction module. Changes in the failure rates in the Prediction Module may then be automatically transferred through to the RBD. Another block in the RBD might obtain its failure rate data from a NSWC prediction.

Reliability Workbench runs under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows Me and Windows XP. It provides a powerful Report Generator allowing users to construct customised reports and graphs. In addition a powerful import/export facility is provided allowing data to be transferred directly to and from Microsoft Access databases and spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel.
