• You can model a wide array of system complexities including limited repair resources, fixed and variable costs, switching mechanisms, imperfect repairs, switch delays, transportation delays, and logistic delays.

• You can use advanced simulation and optimization features to evaluate optimal maintenance intervals, repair resources, and spares.

• You can model hot, cold, and warm spares.

• You can use junctions to model redundant configurations of non-identical components.

• You can compute confidence intervals for various reliability metrics.

• You can use diagram links to link one block diagram to another, thereby creating a parent/child relationship.

• You can select from a large number of distributions, including exponential, lognormal, normal, Rayleigh, time independent, Weibull, uniform, and constant time.

• You can model both electrical and flow type networks.

• You can create phase diagrams, which take into account operation on all of the various phases that the system experiences during a mission.

• You can specify not only calculation properties but also visual properties for a block or connector. If you want, you can even show a custom image for a block.
