GoldSim provides a number of reliability analysis tools that become available at the end of a simulation.
The most fundamental result is the summary of the mean reliability and availability statistics over the duration of the simulation:
A wealth of additional information is also available. For example, a time history of the mean reliability can be displayed:
Also, statistical analyses of failure and repair time distributions can be displayed:
One of the most powerful types of result processing available within the Reliability Module is causal analysis. Because GoldSim records all of the unique conditions which result in failure of each individual element during a simulation, it can provide analyses that identify failure scenarios and failure root causes for each reliability element:
A related analysis shows the different failure scenarios for a system, where each scenario corresponds to a specific state of the system's components. Each state is presented as a logic-tree, with each component that is not operating shown highlighted (in red):
