Introduction

This page is a working draft of the changes/modifications planned for this version. It is made publicly available to customers for input and feedback.


Comments, Questions or Feedback

You can use the new Synthesis sub-forum in the Reliability Discussion Forum for comments, questions, suggestions and/or feedback related to the planned modifications.

Alternatively, you can send an e-mail to the Development team.

Platform-Wide Modifications

These platform modifications are incorporated into all applications.

UI Changes Not Affecting Functionality

  • UDFs for folios also changed to be a tree structure.
  • Model window interface updated to use a tree structure similar to other resources.
  • Interface improvements for Resource Manager:
    • "Show All," "Show Only Unused" and "Show Only Duplicates" now indicate which option is selected.
    • A status bar at the bottom of the window indicates which resource is selected, the Local/Global view option and the Selection option.
  • User Setup moved to a single common window for all applications.

New Resources

  • Metric. Shows calculated results value from a model or simulation result. Result values can be manually added to a stack of saved values and tracked over time. [NEW] [IP]
  • FMEAs are now resources. This are only available in applications that use FMEAs (XFMEA/RCM++/RBI)

Application-Specific Modifications

All platform modifications are reflected and added to each individual application.
Additionally, this section presents specific major modifications that apply (are unique) to an individual application.

BlockSimIcon.png BlockSim 10

RENOIcon.png RENO 10

  • Drag & Drop Mode enhanced and can now be used in tabbed view as well.
  • Templates are brought back and added. [NEW] [IP]
  • Option to not automatically validate equations added. [NEW] [IP]
  • Ability to reference resources by name in the equations instead of by reference. [NEW] [IP]
  • Quick send to Weibull for result containers.
  • Curved line type connectors added to diagrams. [NEW] [IP]
  • In-process. Additional details forthcoming

XfmeaIcon.png Xfmea 10

  • Analyses as Resources. FMEAs are now resources (i.e., Linked FMEAs) and can be reused. [NEW] [IP]
  • FMEA Import/Compare Window added. [NEW] [NS]
  • FMEA Smart+ added. [NEW] [NS]
  • Optional color coding on scale selections added based on item target reliability. [NEW] [IP]
  • Target Reliability allocation to cause added [NEW] [IP]
  • Read and Push Metrics added to all items [NEW] [IP]
  • QCPN metric added. [NEW] [IP]
  • DFR planner is no longer an analysis in Xfmea but is now a separate project-level utility application available to all Synthesis applications.
    • Conversion considerations:
      • In V9, DFR plans were simpler and could be added to any item in the system hierarchy.
      • The greatly expanded V10 DFR planner is no longer item-based but instead project-based.
      • Upon conversion of older files, and if more than one DFR planner is in the project, the plans will be merged into a single project-level DFR planner.
  • System Hierarchy Filtered View
  • Dashboard Plots added.
  • SEP Integration.
  • Interactive FMEA Block Diagrams added.
  • Automatic and linked Test Plan Generation and monitoring. Enhances and Replaces existing DVP&R functionality.
  • In-process. Additional details forthcoming

RCMIcon.png RCM++ 10

28 Lambda Predict 10

  • FIDES
    • A set of FIDES Phases can now be defined in a Phase Set.
    • Two new FIDES plots.
  • Parts Count added.
    • Added a parts count prediction that restricts the behaviors to those allowable in a parts count.
  • NSWC Updated
  • In-process. Additional details forthcoming

RBIIcon.png RBI 10

DOEIcon.png DOE++ 10


  • The optimization plot, overlaid contour plot and dynamic overlaid contour plot dialogs now use a tree format. (Specific factors can now be held constant in the optimization plot.)
  • Ignore/Include column added to standard and robust folios. (Ignored rows are not included in any of the calculations.)
  • Dialogs added to modify all factors or all responses from one spot.
  • Central Composite factor values can be assigned based on Alpha values.
  • New and improved Surface plot.
    • Basic plot functionality remains the same as the previous surface plot.
    • Appearance is greatly improved (including anti-aliasing and legible text).
    • Interface has changed substantially.
    • Available settings have been vastly expanded.
  • In-process. Additional details forthcoming

RGAIcon.png RGA 10

  • Modifications/improvements to multiple systems analysis (and generating the equivalent single system).
  • Folios/data sheets can now be associated with a Metric variable.
  • Metric variable array can be used as a data source. Track and plot (and even analyze) changes in analysis metrics over time.
  • In-process. Additional details forthcoming ...

XFRACASIcon.png XFRACAS 10

  • Multiple "under-the-hood" improvements.
  • Information Release Pending ... Additional details forthcoming ...

MPCIcon.png MPC 10

  • In-process. Additional details forthcoming

Synthesis API 10

  • Calculate compound (analytical diagram) models via an API call.
  • Manipulate XFmea System Hierarchy Via API
  • In-process. Additional details forthcoming

New Applications Added to the Platform for Version 10

Synthesis Enterprise Portal 10 [NEW]

New application. Information Release Pending ... Additional details forthcoming ...


ReliaSoft’s Synthesis Enterprise Portal (SEP) opens up the Synthesis Platform, and your work in the platform, to your whole organization. You can share your progress, results and analyses with management and colleagues using the new web-based portal, accessible from any web-enabled device.
