| A Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) is a tool for analyzing more complex systems and configurations. |

Relex RBD includes the ability
to perform Monte Carlo simulations on a model to calculate failure
rate, reliability, availability, unreliability, and unavailability.

When performing a Reliability Prediction analysis,
failure rates for components, assemblies, and systems are calculated.
However, the models used for Reliability Prediction (MIL-HDBK-217 and
Telcordia) assume that all components and assemblies are configured in
series, and failure rate calculations are based on that assumption. However,
oftentimes systems will be designed with various redundancies of key assemblies
in order to improve the overall reliability of that system.
The analysis of these types of redundancies
requires the use of sophisticated mathematical algorithms. Relex
RBD is a complete graphical block diagram evaluator that is integrated
with the other Relex Software modules
for the quick analysis of these types of configurations.
