In this sample, we have a non-series/parallel system with 6 modules and 5 nodes.
1. Input the configuration of the system
2. Click the first RUN, then you will get below:NodesNum = 5 ModulesNum = 6InputNode = 1 OutputNode = 5A = (1, 2)
B = (1, 3)
C = (2, 3)
D = (2, 4)
E = (3, 4)
F = (4, 5)
3. Input the numeric value of reliability for each module:Result:
The diagram is shown below:System Reliability =- Ra*Rb*Rc*Re*Rf + Ra*Rb*Rc*Rd*Re*Rf + Ra*Rd*Rf + Rb*Re*Rf - Ra*Rb*Rd*Re*Rf + Ra*Rc*Re*Rf - Ra*Rc*Rd*Re*Rf
4. Input the numeric value of failure rate for each module:0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.5, 0.9, 0.9Click the second RUN, then you will get below:Result:The diagram is shown below
System Reliability = - Ra*Rb*Rc*Re*Rf + Ra*Rb*Rc*Rd*Re*Rf + Ra*Rd*Rf + Rb*Re*Rf - Ra*Rb*Rd*Re*Rf + Ra*Rc*Re*Rf - Ra*Rc*Rd*Re*RfGiven Ra=0.9, Rb=0.8, Rc=0.7, Rd=0.5, Re=0.9, Rf=0.9, Rsystem = 0.8124300000000002
Return1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4Click the third RUN, then you will get below:Result:The diagram is shown below:
System Reliability =

The diagram of R(t) vs time t is shown below:x10-1sec
R(t) = 0.8 when t = 0.0457763671875
R(t) = 0.5 when t = 0.1220703125
R(t) = 0.3 when t = 0.194549560546875
R(t) = 0.1 when t = 0.331878662109375
At time t = .1, R(t) = 0.5824351207217396
