Engineering simulation typically is a deterministic process. For a given set of design parameters, simulation always delivers the same results. In the real world, however, design parameters are subject to variability as a result of manufacturing tolerances or fluctuation of environmental loads - for example. Hence, simulation results should be considered as distributed around a mean value.

ASSESSING THE PROBABILITY OF FAILURE

The Optimus PHIMECA Reliability module assesses the probability of failure for any given design, taking design parameter variability into account. This kind of analysis builds upon existing engineering workflows that have been captured and automated using Optimus. It adds statistical dispersion to the design variables and evaluates the probability of failure using either the FORM method or the Subset Sampling method.

OPTIMIZING FOR A GIVEN PROBABILITY OF FAILURE

Reliability analysis is critical across a wide range of industries, aerospace and energy being just two of many examples. Using the Optimus PHIMECA Reliability module, engineers can go far beyond a reliability analysis assessing the probability of failure.

Starting from a given probability of failure, they can also run an optimization analysis to identify deterministic design parameter values that minimize risks with a new design. Using the inverse Subset Sampling method, they can even calculate the performance of a design for a specific reliability target. Thanks to Optimus’ fine-grained parallelization capabilities, this resource-demanding process can be run with a minimal computational footprint.
