Raptor
Raptor software allows a reliability novice to quickly model a system. The graphical user interface and strong emphasis on human factors makeRaptor the pre-eminent reliability analysis tool. Using Raptor, you model your systems graphically by drawing reliability block diagrams (RBDs) and describing the way components fail and are repaired. By placing components within the workspace and connecting them with links and nodes, the series-parallel relationships of the components that make up a system can easily be described.

The graphical user interface and strong emphasis on human factors make
Raptor the pre-eminent reliability analysis tool.
Using Raptor, you model your systems graphically by drawing reliability block diagrams (RBDs) and describing the way components fail and are repaired. By placing components within the workspace and connecting them with links and nodes, the series-parallel relationships of the components that make up a system can easily be described.
n describing how each component fails and is repaired from one of the 16 built-in distributions, you have greater flexibility than with traditional exponential simulations. More advanced options allow you to input logistics constraints, including labour needs, sparing information, and a special type of redundancy called cold standby.
Raptor easily handles complex systems that is, systems that cannot be reduced into series or parallel constructions. A generic algorithm, which avoids developing specific equations as functions of paths, gives Raptor the power to analyze an endless variety of RBDs rom relatively simple to extremely complex.
Because Raptor is so easy to use, there has been an explosion of requests from academic institutions for the tool; however, educators are not the only users. More than 2,500 commercial and government organizations also have copies of this tool. In addition, hundreds of customers in more than 75 countries use Raptor.
Raptor Version 6.0
The long-awaited Raptor 6.0 is now available. This power-packed version of the Windows-based Raptor program breaks new ground in performing reliability, cost, and capacity trade-off studies while maintaining the look and ease of use that Raptor users have become accustomed to.
You may use this powerful tool to increase the availability, lower the cost, and boost the capacity of your system.
New Features of Version 6.0
Enhanced logistics
Cost analysis
Capacity and flow analysis
Weak-link analysis (i.e., components causing the most failures)
Phased simulations in which components are stressed over time
Modelling of components that repair better or worse than new
Modelling of life-exhausted components
Interaction with ASENT library files
Step simulations to ease verification of modelling efforts
Delayed statistics gathering (i.e., managing modelling transients)
