Reliability Module Preview
The GoldSim development team has been hard at work on a new
GoldSim module, the Reliability Module. This module will allow
users to simulate risk and reliability of complex engineered
systems. Typical applications might be the design of new products,
chemical plants or factories, or the analysis of space or
military missions.
At the heart of the Reliability Module are a new Function
element and Action element. Function elements represent components
or subsystems that provide an ongoing service to the system,
such as a power supply. Action elements represent components
that perform specific actions on demand, such as a workstation
in a factory, or the starter on an automobile.
The Reliability Module elements can simulate the failure
modes that affect components, along with repair times and
costs. More complex systems involving redundant components,
or systems made up of subsystems, are easily represented.
All of this comes together in GoldSim's probabilistic framework,
so that users can not only study the reliability of their
systems, but also understand the variability and real-world
performance that they can expect.
