All reliability systems are based on an algorithm system which is based on a parametric system. Accordingly an reliability system has all slots of an algorithm system, a parametric system and the following ones.
| Slot Name | Slot type | Data Type | Description | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In | Out | ||||||
| NominalDesign | X |  | The design to be used as nominal design. | ||||
| NominalDesigns | X |  | A container of nominal designs. First entry will be used. | ||||
| NominalDesign | X | | Nominal design of reliability analysis. | ||||
| EstimatorsStdDev | X |  | The probability of failure estimated from random sampling is a random variable itself. EstimatorsStdDev is the standard deviation of the estimation. | ||||
| POF | X | | Probability of failure | ||||
| POIF | X | | Inverse probability of failure | ||||
| ReliabilityIndex | X | | The reliability index beta is defined as the closest distance between origin (mean) and limit state surface in standard normal space. It is related to a simulated probability of failure by Pf = Phi(-beta), with Phi: standard Gaussian CDF. | ||||
| InputImportances | X |  | Provides the sensitivities of every input parameter used in the reliability algorithm concerning the determined failure probability. This information is available for Adaptive Sampling, Plain Monte Carlo, FORM and ISPUD. | ||||
