Basic Features. . . A valuable reliability software package (like Relex) incorporates: · Accuracy · Speed · Flexibility · Ease of use · Integration · Automation 13

Relex Accuracy Relex calculations are accurate: · Conform to chosen standard · Calculations are either done by exact formulas or using Monte Carlo simulation · Calculation results are traceable by user 14

Relex Speed Relex offers high speed calculations: · Use of libraries increases data input · Import of component data minimizes workload · Use of default data for parameters which are currently not available · All modules use same data base (no data exchange necessary) 15

Relex Ease of Use Relex can be used very easily: · Windows based screen-layout and functions · All modules use same interface · Copy / paste features for data · Drag-and-drop features for report generation · Graphic tool and import/export wizard like in Microsoft Excel® 16

Relex Flexibility Relex offers many flexible options: · Customizable input formats (screen tables) · Flexible Report Design options · Custom Parts Libraries, Default Files, Derating Files, Input Forms, etc. · Ability to move between analyses with one click · Ability to import data in many formats 17

Relex Automation Relex offers many automated features: · Calculate failure rates based on defaults · Component failure modes entered · RBD figures linked to System Tree components · Advanced automated importing/exporting · Fault Trees generated from a FMEA 18

Relex Integration All Relex products are fully integrated: · Data is entered into one program. · Repetitive data entry eliminated. · Data between the products is shared. 19
