Request information on commercial software

[RIAC Staff Member]

Commercial reliability information is often available from the vendor of the commercial off the shelf equipment(COTS). Usually, this information only relates to benign type conditions i.e. air conditioned office environments. At the RAC, we have a tool that will translate benign type conditions and determine risk factors. This tool is called "SELECT". The objective of this software tool is to quantify the estimated reliability and risk of using equipment designed for relatively benign environments in applications where the expected stresses are considerably more severe. In addition some generic equipment reliability figures of merit can be found in our "Reliability Toolkit, Commercial Practices Edition. These tools can be obtained from the RAC product catalog.

I am thinking of purchasing a commercial reliability software used in Transportaion area. I would appreciate if someone have used one before (such as Item, Isograph and Relex)and can share his advice to me.

I know the software "RAM commander" and "Item toolkit".

Which is the best software for reliability analysis? (relex, isograph, etc..)
