Release Updates

The release of ReliaSoft 2025 delivers improvements in functionality and performance for Weibull ++ XFMEA, Lambda Predict and BlockSim, along with enhanced security across all ReliaSoft products.​ ​

This latest version focuses on customer-requested enhancements, performance improvements, and security updates to ensure more efficient, secure, and reliable data-driven analyses.​ 

Competing Risks Analysis​​ ​

New in Weibull++ 2025, the Competing Risks Weibull model provides a way to analyze data sets where more than one failure mode must be considered for every data point. ​​ ​

This method expands on previous functionality in the software and is more flexible with regard to the data requirements.​​ ​

The Competing Risks method is similar to the Mixed Weibull approach but can be easier to apply to real world data since the failure mode for each data point does not need to be specified by the user. ​​This means that users can more easily evaluate multimodal datasets with more confidence.

P-Diagram to FMEA​

This new functionality in XFMEA makes the P-Diagram a more fundamental part of the FMEA process by allowing a team to brainstorm for longer in the P-Diagram prior to creating the FMEA. ​

This release provides a new field within the P-diagram (End Effect) to provide a meaningful connection to all primary elements of the FMEA and enables the user to dynamically create an FMEA directly from the P-diagram.

XFMEA 

XFMEA now includes dashboards to easily view FMEA-MSR ratings. Monitoring and System Response (MSR) is a systematic method for identifying and assessing potential failures in a product while it's being used by a customer and is part of both the AIAG-VDA and latest J1739A standards.​
 

BlockSim

BlockSim 2025 includes extensive algorithm refactoring to enable greater use of multi-threaded computing. This means faster simulations in many scenarios. ​​

This release also includes support for multiple-block representation in fault tree analysis. ​This provides improved usability for managing complex scenarios in fault trees.​
 

Lambda Predict

Updated copy paste behavior in Lambda Predict provides more flexibility for updating the components underneath the block level. This enables more control and a streamlined approach when reusing components across your analysis / BOM for standards-based reliability prediction.
 

​All Products

Thoughout the ReliaSoft product range, we have continued to update and improve security measures and protocols to help keep your data secure across supported environments.

Release Updates

  • New feature to export XFRACAS BOM to reliability block diagrams via BlockSim API
  • XFRACAS includes new capabilities for audit logging and traceability
  • Lambda Predict supports Enterprise Libraries of part reliability data
  • MPC supports MSG-3 2018 Vol 1 and 2018 Vol 2 standards for aircraft maintenance

Plus ReliaSoft 2024 includes other usability and security enhancements.

XFRACAS to BlockSim API

Developed in concert with customers this new functionality provides the means to allow a Bill of Materials (BOM) stored in XFRACAS to be sent to BlockSim as a Reliability Block Diagram (RBD). This new capability will allow users with large XFRACAS systems who are looking to evaluate the reliability and/or maintainability approaches of their system with minimal effort for the initial transformation. Utilizing this approach along with the existing APIs for transferring reliability policies and data into BlockSim provides for a streamlined approach to move from FRACAS to RAM analysis without any intermediate steps or software.

XFRACAS Compliance Audit Logging

Implemented following customer feedback from a range of users, this new audit functionality provides methods for recording the user, time, and date of the following types of actions within XFRACAS.

  • The clearing of stored logs
  • The removing and viewing of stored attachments
  • Report and chart generation
  • Tracking every page a user accesses

This vital functionality provides administrators the means to perform a full audit of accessed records and actions performed within XFRACAS.

Lambda Predict V24 brings support for Enterprise stored libraries

Following customer demand for enhancements for library storage that gives users a centralized maintained library for all of their custom part information in an enterprise environment. This update is integrated directly into the interface and supported as an extension of existing or new enterprise databases.

This functionality provides much needed support for multi-user deployments of Lambda Predict and allows for securely storing, access, and updates to custom part information. Lambda Predict still supports local libraries, however this allows for a large pool of users to work against one common library as opposed to either storing a local library in shared store, or having to maintain and update disparate libraries by group or user.

MPC Version 24 now supports the MSG-3 2018 vol 1 and 2018 vol 2 guidelines

Building on the history of supporting MSG-3 updates for customers in the aerospace industry ReliaSoft MPC V2024 adds support, reporting, and updates for the 2018 MSG-3 release for both fixed wing (volume 1) and rotorcraft volume 2).

This functionality allows our aerospace customers to establish and/or record maintenance guidelines within a regulatory framework by following industry recommendations and best practices. ReliaSoft MPC 24 provides methods for systems, structures, zones, and L/HIRF analyses along with standardized and custom reporting.

Fault Tree Analysis

 

Take your Fault Tree Analysis to the next level using the Binary Decision Diagram solver method. The latest version of ReliaSoft BlockSim comes with a new analytical calculation method for evaluating Fault Tree Analyses. This powerful implementation allows for more complete and accurate cut sets, better results for larger FTAs and more complex common causes (mirrors).

A more convenient form for the system failure logic function, the Binary Decision Diagram, overcomes some disadvantages of conventional FTA techniques with more efficient and exact qualitative and quantitative analyses. Now using the BlockSim software you can quantify easier and more efficient the system failure likelihood and with better accuracy, since there is no need for the approximations used in the traditional approach.

Reliability Demonstration Test

Product validation testing is an important step in the design process. The latest version of ReliaSoft Weibull++ provides a new way to calculate probability of successful demonstration for a proposed test and makes it easy and intuitive to create a plot of several reliability demonstration test options.

The Test Design folio in Weibull++ can be used to assess the tradeoff between the number of samples to test, duration of test and the demonstrated reliability and confidence. With ReliaSoft 2022 you can design more effective and complete reliability demonstration test, which can help you to determine whether your product(s) will meet a specified reliability goal and within defined time.

Improved Software Usability

ReliaSoft 2022 provides improved usability in ReliaSoft Weibull++ to help customers perform various analyses more quickly and efficiently. The latest update to the Distribution Wizard helps you easily choose the best distribution option for your data. You can also quickly determine the best fit for real world data sets using the BIC and AIC fit methods.

For better and faster navigation, we updated the default distributions to those used the most, while maintaining configurability for users who want to see more options. It serves a better guide for both new and experienced users and make help options and tool tips more accessible.

Additional Weibull++ improvements include streamlined user-friendly interface with labels for all button and an ability to choose which buttons are displayed.
