EXTENSION OF MODEL-BASED DESIGN FOR IDENTIFYING AND ANALYZING IMPACT OF RELIABILITY INFORMATION ON SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and devices for providing and using a technical computing environment (TCE) to receive a TCE model.SOLUTION: Disclosed are methods and devices for providing and using a TCE to receive a TCE model which, when executed, simulates behavior of a dynamic physical system, and which represents one or more physical components and their respective reliability information in a block diagram model. Applications of the model include automated system-level datasheet and bill of materials generation, component reliability information discovery, fault and stress assertions, and identification of emergent faults.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
