See how to:

• Create Reliability Block Diagrams
  • Model individual components or subsystems using Life Distribution
  • Build complex system using components or subsystems connected in a variety of ways to build in redundancies to failure
  • Model and compare the systems

See how to:

• Simulate a repairable system
  • Add planned and unplanned maintenance, part replacement, and preventive maintenance for subsystems impacted by failures of other subsystems
  • Add events and actions
  • Simulate the system
