RBD techniques are most often employed to model complex systems, especially those that incorporate redundant components and repair data. Within RBD, there are several component models and calculation metrics available to ensure complete and accurate system analysis is obtained. In this whitepaper, we will discuss these various options in technical detail.  \nSYSTEM MODELING WITH RBD ANALYSIS.......................................................2  \nCOMPONENT MODELING & ORGANIZATION ...................................................2  \nREDUNDANT CONFIGURATIONS...................................................................................2  \nSWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS....................................................................................4  \nFAILURE AND REPAIR DISTRIBUTIONS ........................................................................6  \nSUBDIAGRAM ORGANIZATION ......................................................................................9  \nRBD CALCULATION RESULTS ..............................................................................9  \nTIME-BASED METRICS............................................................................................... 10  \nSTEADY STATE RESULTS ........................................................................................... 12  \nCALCULATION INPUTS ............................................................................................... 13  \nPATH SETS................................................................................................................. 14  \nCUT SETS .................................................................................................................. 14  \nRBD AS PART OF YOUR RELIABILITY ANALYSIS PLATFORM..................15  \nLEVERAGING FAILURE DATA IN RBD ........................................................................ 15  \nReliability Prediction and RBD ............................................................................ 15  \nWeibull and RBD .................................................................................................. 16  \nLEVERAGING REPAIR DATA IN RBD .......................................................................... 17  \nMaintainability Prediction and RBD ................................................................... 17  \nFRACAS and RBD ................................................................................................ 17  \nUSING RBD DASHBOARDS FOR HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEWS.......................18  \nRELYENCE RBD DASHBOARD WIDGETS .................................................................... 18  \nEXAMPLE RBD ANALYSIS ....................................................................................20  \nCONCLUSION ...........................................................................................................24  \nA Deep Dive into System Modeling Using Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) Analysis  \n© 2021 Relyence Corporation. All Rights Reserved.  \n1  \nIn our blog post A Guide to System Modeling Using Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) Analysis, we explored the fundamentals of RBD analysis and how it can be used to calculate a variety of system reliability and availability metrics. We discussed the benefits of RBD, how it can be used in certain fields, and detailed the steps involved in performing RBD analysis. For further information on the basics of RBD analysis, be sure to check out the blog post orthe Relyence RBD product webpages. This whitepaper will explore in detail the system modeling procedures and options that were introduced previously.  \nThere are several important elements to consider when performing RBD analysis. We will take a look at some of the most useful features available to make your analyses most effective.
