Synthesis API can be used to accomplish the exact same tasks as within Synthesis, but through a programmer's own custom-developed code. This allows for a more customizable and automated solution to reliability engineering. The sample code and documentation in this manual have been prepared for the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (Visual Basic and .Net) development environment, and we assume that the programmer is familiar with programming in that environment.


In order to use this library in a project, a reference to the ReliaSoft Synthesis API Library is required. The library is located in the folder where ReliaSoft Synthesis is installed. By default, this folder is "C:\Program Files\ReliaSoft\Synthesis 9."

  • .NET developers – use SynthesisAPI.dll
  • VB6 / VBA developers – use SynthesisAPI.tlb

If Synthesis API is used with Microsoft Office both must either be 64-bit or both must be 32-bit versions.

The Synthesis API includes a rich set of classes/enumerations that allow you to work with any of the following components of the Synthesis Platform:

  • Repositories: Allow an application to access and edit Synthesis repositories.
  • Weibull++ Standard Folio: Provides the functionality of a Weibull++ standard folio, including entering data in a data set, specifying analysis settings and fitting a distribution to the data set.
  • ALTA Standard Folio: Provides the functionality of an ALTA standard folio, including entering data in a data set, specifying analysis settings and fitting a distribution and life-stress relationship to the data set.
  • Models in Weibull++/ALTA: Build models in Weibull++/ALTA.
  • Plots in Weibull++/ALTA: Generate plots from a Weibull++/ALTA standard folio.
  • Resources: Use these classes to create resources, edit their properties and calculate reliability metrics from fitted models.
  • Raw Reliability Data: Work with raw reliability data that can be stored in the Reliability Data Warehouse (RDW).
  • Displayed Language: Set the language that will be used for the entire library.


A complete list of all the classes and enumerations in the Synthesis API is available here.
