Fault Tree Diagrams and System Analysis BlockSim 6 is available in two editions, BlockSim Standard and the FTI (Fault Tree Interface) edition. The FTI edition includes a fault tree interface for rendering/illustrating systems. This chapter introduces basic fault tree analysis and points out the similarities (and differences) between reliability block diagrams (RBDs) and fault tree diagrams. Principles, methods and concepts discussed in previous chapters are utilized. ? This chapter includes the following sections: Fault Tree Analysis, Reliability Block Diagrams and the BlockSim FTI Edition Basic Gates New BlockSim FTI Gates Event Classifications Comparing Fault Trees and RBDs Using Mirrored Blocks to Represent Complex RBDs as FTDs Fault Trees and Simulation Additional Fault Tree Topics Fault Tree Analysis, Reliability Block Diagrams and the BlockSim FTI Edition Fault trees and reliability block diagrams are both symbolic analytical logic techniques that can be applied to analyze system reliability and related characteristics. Although the symbols and structures of the two diagram types differ, most of the logical constructs in a fault tree diagram (FTD) can also be modeled with a reliability block diagram (RBD). This chapter presents a brief introduction to fault tree analysis concepts and illustrates the similarities between fault tree diagrams and reliability block diagrams. ? Fault Tree Analysis: Brief Introduction Bell Telephone Laboratories developed the concept of fault tree analysis in 1962 for the U.S. Air Force for use with the Minuteman system. It was later adopted and extensively applied by the Boeing Company. A fault tree diagram follows a top-down structure and represents a graphical model of the pathways within a system that can lead to a foreseeable, undesirable loss event (or a failure). The pathways interconnect contributory events and conditions using standard logic symbols (AND, OR, etc.). ? Fault tree diagrams consist of gates and events connecte
