Using Simulation RBDs

A reliability block diagram (RBD) is a graphical representation of how the components of a system are reliability-wise connected. BlockSim's RBDs can be configured as analytical diagrams (which use the exact algebraic equation for the system model but impose limitations on what can be modeled and what results can be obtained) or simulation diagrams (which provide more modeling options and results but must be analyzed with discrete event simulation).

The basic steps for using a simulation RBD are:

  1. Add diagram

  2. Add blocks

  3. Connect blocks

  4. Set block properties

  5. Simulate the diagram

  6. View the simulation results

  7. Calculate metrics

  8. View plots
