Introduction
- Companies are very effectively using AvSim module for RAMS studies.
- Availability Simulation (AvSim) module of the Availability Workbench is the powerful system reliability and availability simulator.
- It inculcates the Fault Tree and RBD modules for the powerful graphics solution and optimizes the maintenance strategies.
Key Features
- Sub-system blocks allowing automatic Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) pagination
- Pagination facilities for large fault trees and user control of scaling, shifting and gates, events selection.
- Simulation of production capacity levels with target cost penalties.
- Multiple-system spares tracking for fleet modelling and modelling of spares dependencies and stock levels and models recycling of spares via a repair shop
- Various failure models according to requirements are provided.
- Modelling of maintenance queuing and opportunistic maintenance and ‘hold for repair’ modelling
- Comprehensive reports interfacing with Microsoft Office products
- P-f curves for inspections and condition alarms
Benefits
- The Availability Simulation module can help you optimize system availability and life-cycle costs by modelling:
- System availability and throughput
- Spares tracking and stock-outs
- Planned and predictive maintenance policies
- Switching delays and buffers
- Phased operations
- Standby systems
- Complex and dynamic systems can be easily designed and optimization of maintenance strategies
- It can effectively simulate the effects of different spares holding levels on lifetime costs.
- Multiple import and export facilities are available.
- Customizable reporting options make reports very accessible.
