General:-

• Powerful visual interface with simple drag and drop techniques;

• Deterministic and stochastic techniques;

• Series, Active Redundancy (Full, Partial or Conditional) and Standby Redundancy (Identical units or Different units);

• Control of the sizing of parallel units as a function of time (i.e. varying levels of effective redundancy);

• Load Sharing;

• Availability;

• System or component importance ranking; It enables the user to identify the systems or components that are the main contributors to Unavailability, Total Down Time, Cost, Safety Criticality, Asset Criticality and Environmental Criticality;

• Modelling complex systems using multiple layers of RBDs.

Maintenance modelling:-

• Unscheduled, Delayed (e.g. seasonal);

• Maintenance duration and restoration factors;

• Maintenance policies;

• Planned;

• Condition monitoring;

• Opportunity maintenance;

• Services and utilities;

• Job priority;

• Spare parts pools.

Logistics

• Iconic animation (moving ships, etc.);

• Operations details of shuttles;

• Maintenance Vessel;

• Weather Module:- Location (reference to geographical location of shuttle loading facility)

• Seasons (default given for Northern Hemisphere)

• Weather Data Matrix (comprising cumulative probability of nominated wave heights per season and the associated average of occurrence of this range)

Other modelling details

• Variable Energy production;

• Sub-system or pagination facilities for large Reliability Block Diagrams;

• Import and export facilities;

• Control of phasing-in and phasing-out of any part of the logic network;Interface with Excel spreadsheets. Effectively allowing the user to export and import data to and from other spreadsheets;

• General failure behaviour of an equipment i.e. bathtub curve.
