Reliability Prediction Reliability Prediction (MIL-HDBK-217, BellCore Telcordia, NSWC-06, RDF, CHINA 299B) - ITEM ToolKit ITEM ToolKit contains 5 modules for performing reliability prediction (MTBF) analysis. These modules conform to Mil-HDBK-217 F Notice 2, Telcordia (Bellcore) TR-332 and SR-332, IEC 62380 (RDF 2000), China 299B (electronics) and NSWC 06/LE10 (mechanical) and share many common features and capabilities.

Each reliability prediction module is designed to analyse and calculate component, sub system and system failure rates in accordance with the appropriate standard. After the analysis is complete, ITEM ToolKit's integrated environment comes into its own with powerful conversion facilities for transferring data to other modules of the program. For example, transfer your Mil-217 project data to FMECA or your Telcordia project to RBD. These powerful facilities transfer as much of the available information as possible, saving you valuable time and effort.

Multi-Document Interface (MDI)

ITEM ToolKit's Multi Document Interface allows several
projects or libraries to open at the same time. This valuable
feature comes in especially handy when it is necessary to
transfer data from one project (or library) to another.

Hierarchy Diagrams And Failure Rates

Users can construct hierarchical breakdowns of systems with
no restrictions on block numbers or levels of indenture. As new
sub blocks and components are added, ToolKit automatically
recalculates all dependent failure rates to take account of new
information.

"What If" Studies

Powerful global editing facilities are available for performing
"what if" evaluations. These facilities enable you to experiment
with temperature, environmental and stress settings and see
how your system performance will vary. The results of these
"what if" studies can either be displayed graphically or as text.

Redundancy Calculations

Each prediction module includes redundancy parameters for calculating availability at sub system and system levels.

Linked Blocks

ITEM ToolKit's prediction modules allow common blocks to be repeated using linked blocks. A linked block assumes the exact characteristics and parameters of another specified block in the current project and is automatically updated as the "source" block is changed.

Find And Replace

The Find and Replace options allow blocks and/or components to be quickly located and, if required, changed. Part numbers, descriptions, circuit references etc, can be globally modified as required. These features are particularly valuable when working on large projects.

Pi Factors

Each prediction module uses Pi factors and other parameters to calculate component, sub system and system failure rates. These can easily be extracted and displayed.

Default Parameters

When adding components to your system, ITEM ToolKit automatically inserts applicable default values for blocks and components. These default values can be changed to represent your most frequent settings.

Arrhenius Temperature Model

User defined component failure rates can be adjusted using the Arrhenius temperature model during system and sub system global edits.
