Xfmea 4 and
RCM++ 4 Soon to Be Released - ReliaSoft is about to
release new versions of Xfmea (Failure Modes and Criticality
Analysis) and RCM++ (Reliability Centered Maintenance). Many
significant and exciting enhancements have been added to the
software's features and functionality, including:
-
Change Log
The software now allows authorized users to activate a
Change Log for a particular analysis, which records a version
history and a log of every change to the original analysis. You
can also use the Record Change Log window to view (and export)
the history of changes that have been made to a particular
record.

-
Design Review Based on Failure
Mode (DRBFM)
The software now provides an integrated utility to support
Design Review Based on Failure Mode (DRBFM) analysis, which
is used in many industries to evaluate proposed changes to an
existing design. By attaching the DRBFM to an existing FMEA, you
will be able to transfer relevant function descriptions from the
FMEA, analyze the concerns that may have been introduced by the
change and then transfer selected issues back to the original
FMEA, if applicable.

These and
other new features, such as the ability to create customized
tooltips for worksheet columns and export data as a fault tree in
BlockSim FTI, are described at

Lambda
Predict Version 2 Upgrade - ReliaSoft is proud to
announce the upcoming release of Lambda Predict Version 2. Lambda
Predict 2 supports all of the major standards for reliability
prediction analysis, including MIL-HDBK-217, Bellcore, NSWC-98,
China 299B and RDF 2000. The software provides extensive component
libraries, failure rate prediction results, plots, print-ready
reports and more. Some of Version 2's significant enhancements to
the software's features and functionality are listed below:
- Derating Analysis
Derating is the selection and application of parts and
materials so that the applied stress is less than rated for a
specific application. You can now apply a published or
user-defined derating standard to your MIL-217, Bellcore or RDF
2000 system. Available published derating standards include
NAVSEA-TE000-AB-GTP-010, MIL-STD-975M (NASA), MIL-STD-1547 and
Naval Air System Command AS-4613 Classes A, B and C.

- Other Time-Saving
Enhancements
The new Library Browse window allows you to browse for
specific components in libraries and add them to your Lambda
Predict analyses. You can also now create and manage "Grid View
Templates" that can be used to automatically configure the grid
to fit your saved preferences.
