Training: Introduction to the Reliability Engineering
Module
This
presentation and demonstration will describe the application
of the Reliability Engineering module in SINDA/FLUINT, as accessed
via Thermal Desktop’s Case Set Manager. The purpose of
the Reliability Engineering modules is to statistically evaluate
the likelihood that a design will exceed various failure limits
or other thresholds. Users will learn how to declare uncertainties
and to define their variations as probability distribution functions
(e.g., bell curves, uniform distributions). They will learn the
basic sampling techniques available, and how to interpret results,
including using histograms and hindsight (post-analysis) queries.
An example problem will be worked interactively. Reliability-based
optimization, including the synthesis of both design parameters
as well as their tolerances, will be briefly discussed.
Prerequisites: Basic
understanding of Thermal Desktop and SINDA/FLUINT operation,
including Symbols and Registers class or equivalent experience.
