"The Relex software suite is by far the most comprehensive reliability engineering tool on the market to date! I have evaluated and used other tools but none compares to the level of integration and open architecture Relex has achieved."

Gain Access to all Leading Reliability Models

Relex Reliability Prediction supports all the globally accepted reliability models. With Relex, the additional analysis capabilities available in one model can be applied to any model you use. For example, you can incorporate Bayesian or Process Grade analysis from the PRISM standard into a MIL-HDBK-217 analysis; or you can apply Method analysis from the Telcordia standard into an HRD-5 analysis. Only Relex offers this kind of flexibility and increased analysis potential!

  • MIL-HDBK-217 is the original worldwide standard for electronic reliability analysis and supports both commercial and military grade components. Relex supports both the Part Stress calculation method, which allows taking actual temperature and stress information into account, and the simpler Parts Count method, used for quick estimates and early design analyses. Relex also extends these calculations by supporting the mathematical models from the Telcordia specification, which allow the incorporation of burn-in as well as laboratory and field data.

  • The Telcordia SR-332 method, formerly generated by Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), provides reliability models for commercial grade electronic components. Previously Bellcore TR-332, Telcordia SR-332 also provides for using data from device burn-in, unit burn-in, laboratory testing, and actual field testing.

  • The PRISM standard was originally developed by the Reliability Analysis Center (RAC), and has been incorporated into the Relex Reliability Prediction module for doing MTBF prediction and system reliability analysis. PRISM enables you to select parts from both the EPRD and NPRD documents published by RAC and enables the use of predecessor data and process grading factors in your reliability analyses.

  • The Mechanical Reliability (NSWC-98/LE1) standard, also known as the "Handbook of Reliability Prediction Procedures for Mechanical Equipment," contains mechanical reliability models for seals, springs, solenoids, bearings, gears, splines, valves, actuators, pumps, brakes, clutches, and more.

  • CNET 93 is a standard developed by France Telecom that provides reliability models for a wide range of components. CNET 93 is a comprehensive model similar to MIL-HDBK-217 which provides a detailed stress analysis.

  • RDF 2000 (CNET 2000) is a newer version of the CNET 93 standard, developed by UTE. Sometimes referred to as CNET 2000, it uses cycling profiles and their applicable phases to provide a completely different basis for failure rate calculations.

  • HRD5 is a reliability standard developed by British Telecommunications plc that also provides models for a wide range of components. In general, HRD5 is similar to CNET 93, but provides simpler models and requires fewer data parameters for analysis.

  • 299B is based on the Chinese standard GJB/z 299B. 299B was translated into English by Beijing Yuntong Forever Sci.-Tech. Co. Ltd., and incorporated into Relex Reliability Prediction. 299B is very similar to the MIL-HDBK-217 reliability standard, allowing you to take actual temperature and stress information into account.
