A general purpose program for probabilistic, reliability and sensitivity analysis. Proban contains state-of-the-art computational methods needed to perform sensitivity, reliability and probability distribution analysis for components and systems.
Ascertain uncertainties
The methods include first and second order reliability methods (FORM/SORM), Monte Carlo simulation, Latin Hypercube sampling and a number of other simulation methods. It contains an extensive statistical distribution library. Proban also contains the necessary features to perform Bayesian updating and parameter studies. Proban can be executed via an interactive graphical user interface.
Some general features of Proban:
- Analysing reliability and distribution problems
- Parametric sensitivity analysis
- Parameter studies
- Importance analysis
- Analysing a number of failure modes simultaneously (system analysis)
- Comparative analyses of the quality of alternative concepts
- Determination of safety factors/partial coefficients
- Determination of the most likely values of the model variables, e.g. loads, in case of failure
- Conditional probability analyses, e.g. by using information gained from inspections
- Extending a deterministic solution procedure into a probabilistic one by specifying the model interactively in Proban or linking Proban to your existing software solution
- Advanced features such as stochastic processes and nested reliability analysis
