Let's assume that the three components A, B and C follow failure distributions Weibull(Beta=1.5,Eta=1000), Weibull(Beta=1.1, Eta=800) and Exponential(MTTF=3000). The reliability for each components and the system at mission time =100 hours is shown in the figure below.

There are several plots available for analytical RBD and fault tree analysis.

At the system level, there are four plots available as shown in the following:

For the metrics, three kinds of reliability importance plots are available:
