Relex RBD
	Relex RBD includes the ability to perform Monte Carlo simulations on a model to calculate failure rate, reliability, availability, unreliability, and unavailability.

When performing a Reliability Prediction analysis, failure rates for components, assemblies, and systems are calculated. However, the models used for Reliability Prediction (MIL-HDBK-217 and Telcordia) assume that all components and assemblies are configured in series, and failure rate calculations are based on that assumption. However, oftentimes systems will be designed with various redundancies of key assemblies in order to improve the overall reliability of that system.

The analysis of these types of redundancies requires the use of sophisticated mathematical algorithms. Relex RBD is a complete graphical block diagram evaluator that is integrated with the other Relex Software modules for the quick analysis of these types of configurations.
