Reliability Predictions
ASENT’s Reliability Manager – the cornerstone of the
entire toolkit – contains some key usability features: a powerful product tree
editor, the ability to import almost any file format, quick access to part data,
prediction tools for both operating and non-operating failure rates, sensitivity
analysis, a mission profiler, comprehensive reporting features, and a powerful
replicate function. This replicate feature alone can save an enormous amount of
time when updating designs with many common modules.
ASENT includes many of the most popular prediction methods used
for calculating both operating and non-operating failure rates. Other companies
charge extra for these methods, but they are all standard with ASENT.
When performing calculations, failure rate status
flags are clearly displayed next to each item in your product tree structure.
When failure rates have been calculated, these flags alert the user to any
potential problems.
ASENT’s bi-directional interface to the
SRC's PRISM tool provides several advantages:
•
ASENT’s product tree structure and powerful editing capabilities,
along with its extensive part library, are readily available to PRISM.
•
ASENT’s comprehensive reporting capabilities can be used in
addition to the reporting found in PRISM.
•
By using RAC’s tool to calculate failure rates, users are assured
that the latest models associated with the PRISM prediction method are used.
•
These failure rates are readily available to ASENT users for
follow-on analyses, such as FMECA or maintainability predictions.
•
PRISM is invoked from ASENT by simply selecting a menu option.
A similar interface is currently planned for RIAC's new 217Plus tool.
