Abstract
The paper presents the RELSYAN software, which is a tool for reliability analysis of the reparable systems. One focus on the software capability to consider, for a system, a model conceived by a pattern chart (block diagram) plus one or more fault trees. The core of the discourse is the simulation, using the Monte Carlo method, the functioning of the system, taking into account different maintenance strategies, spare parts and manpower policies, mission profiles, skills in operation and external stress factors. The benefits of fast simulations are outlined.
