• Resolved issues on some international versions of Windows with saving files and with the User Setup preferences.
• Modified the spreadsheet sort functionality to correctly sort numerical values transferred from simulation results.

• Added FRED reports, which can be generated from the maintainability simulation results in the diagrams. The FRED report commands have been added to the File menu.
• Added ability to plot availability vs. time and static reliability importance.
• Added sort, insert and delete functionalities to Spreadsheets. These options are available from the Spreadsheet shortcut menu.
• Added ability to choose to display simulation results in the Results Panel or in the Print Preview window. These options are available from the Tools menu.
• Added new command buttons to Template Preview window.
• Changed Setup page of the Reliability and Maintainability Simulation window to allow you to specify the exact numbers of simulations to be performed or to specify the standard deviation for a key simulation result.
• Added mean availability standard deviation, MTTF, PM down time and point availability and reliability results to the Results Panel.
• Added ability to specify margins for the diagram in the Diagram Page Setup window.
• Added zoom and navigation options in the Print Preview window.

• Resolved the intermittent issue with Builds 1.0.10 and 1.0.11 that disabled the ability to import a Diagram when the Project Explorer window is not displayed.

• Added full support for Weibull++ version 6 in the Compute Distribution option (Block Properties Failure and Repair pages) and the Represent Diagram as Distribution option (Block Properties Other page).
• Resolved the issue with Build 1.0.10 when calculating results based on a Diagram Sheet that contains Subdiagram block(s).

• Added the ability to define blocks with failure characteristics obtained from the PRISM application. The Import PRISM Components command has been added to the Template menu.

• Added the ability to define a negative log mean for the lognormal distribution in the Block Properties window.
• Resolved the issue with the Block Properties window's pdf Plot display when using the exponential distribution and "Mean Time" is defined as the exponential parameter.

• Resolved minor issues with some international versions of Windows such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
• Resolved the issue with saving files over a network when the destination drive has not been mapped to the user's computer.

Modifications and Enhancements in Service Pack 1

Build 1.0.7
Modifications

• Added MTTFF (Mean-Time-To-First-Failure) for the Maintainability/Availability Simulation.
• Resolved the issue with the Added Logistic Time for Repair when a component does not continue to operate when the system is down.

• Resolved the intermittent issue with Diagrams in which the number of required paths defined for a Node is equal to the number of available paths (e.g., 3-out-of-3).

• Resolved the minor issue with evaluation licenses in international settings.
• Resolved the issue with the Simulation tool when a subdiagram component is defined with a repair distribution.

• Resolved the issue with the Template Panel display when the required font is not properly installed on the user's computer.

• Resolved the issue with sending a Report Work Center document to another word processor.

• Resolved the issue with opening Plot Sheets when other windows within BlockSim are maximized.

• Initial Release.
