EFcalc - Event/Fault Tree Calculator


Go to the The Main VISAC Help Page Go to the EFcalc Table of Contents Previous Page Next Page

Overview

This program calculates general event tree/fault tree problems using either a direct solve technique or a Monte Carlo simulation. The user supplies six input decks and the program creates two output files. All of these files are kept together in a project directory. EFcalc is written in Java 1.4 and can be run from either the command prompt (Windows or Unix) or called by other Java routines. EFcalc does not suffer from any predefined limits on array sizes. Therefore, there are no code-induced limits to the number of equations, number of sequences in an event tree, number of event trees, number of inputs into a gate, etc. The only limiting factor will be the computer memory.
