Systems Assurance Software from PMSC Limited

We at PMSC act as agents to provide specialist systems assurance software on behalf of Isograph.

Below are details of some of the software packages we offer:-

• FaultTree+
  • The best-selling fault tree analysis package. FaultTree+ provides a visual fault tree builder and comprehensive analysis capabilities. FaultTree+ also includes integrated event tree and Markov analysis modules. Powerful reporting, charting and import/export facilities are included.
• AvSim+
  • A sophisticated Monte Carlo simulation package for analysing systems availability and reliability problems using fault trees or reliability block diagrams. The AvSim+ Monte Carlo simulator engine is the result of 8 years development during the evolution of the AvSim+ product. The simulator enables AvSim+ to model complex redundancies, common failures, ageing and component dependencies which cannot be modelled using standard analytical techiques.
• Reliability Workbench
  • An integrated visual environment in which failure rate prediction, FMECA and Reliability Block Diagram analysis are combined. Failure rate predictions are calculated from the Bellcore standard for electronic parts and the NSWC Handbook for mechanical parts.
• RCMCost
  • Reliability-Centred Maintenance is a technique that focuses on the optimisation of maintenance procedures with respect to cost, safety or environmental goals. RCMCost provides a visual environment in which to identify important maintenance actions through a FMECA. A simulation facility can calculate the effects of ageing, crew mantime costs and the costs of spares and outages in relation to preventive maintenance and inspection intervals.
• MKV (Markov Analysis)
  • Some reliability problems can be solved effectively using the Markov Analysis technique. This method analyses state transition diagrams. Steady state or time dependent transition rates are allowed. The time dimension can be divided into phases that could represent different operating modes such as maintenance tasks or varying loads.
• WeibullPro
  • The analysis of failure or repair data can be achieved in a visual environment using the WeibullPro software. The data can be fitted to various failure or repair distributions and displayed in graphical form.
• HazopPlus
  • One of the commonly used techniques in the prelimary phase of a safety study is a hazard and operability study. HazopPlus provides a familiar visual environment in which to design and use the study and action forms that are the basis of entering the Hazop information. Extensive reporting facilities are available.
• IccWare
  • Life cycle cost analysis is used to evaluate the through life cost of a system. IccWare allows the user to define the cost breakdown structure (CBS) which represents the various cost elements in the lifetime of the system. The cost of each cost element can be assigned as a simple value, an equation or as a Visual Basic compatible function.
• RiskVu
  • RiskVu provides a high level interface for probabilistic safety assessment studies for those users who are not familiar with the details of the underlying methods. RiskVu uses the data from a FaultTree+ study and presents it in the form of a failure event hierarchy. The user can modify some aspects of the module such as failure rates or equipment outages. The quantitative analysis is then repeated and the results displayed in report or graphical form.

It is our policy to advise our clients if we believe the use of a particular software package would be beneficial.
