Weibull++ 8 Software Features

Weibull++ is the industry standard in life data analysis (Weibull analysis) for thousands of companies worldwide. The software provides a complete array of data analysis, plotting and reporting tools for standard life data analysis (LDA) with integrated support for a variety of related analyses such as degradation data analysis, warranty data analysis, non-parametric life data analysis, recurrent event data analysis and reliability test design.

 

All the Options You Need for Life Data Analysis (Weibull Analysis)

Weibull++ supports all types of life data, including complete, right censored (suspended), left censored, interval censored and free-form data, entered individually or in groups.

The software provides a choice of all major lifetime distributions (including all forms of the Weibull distribution) and a wizard to help you select the one with the best fit for a particular data set. Bayesian-Weibull, Mixed Weibull and Competing Failure Modes analysis methods are also supported.

Results, Plots and Reports at the Click of a Button

Weibull++ provides a complete array of integrated utilities to quickly provide the results, plots and reports you need to support decisions based on analysis results. The Quick Calculation Pad (QCP) allows you to store a log of calculated results. Integrated plot sheets generate a complete array of reliability plots, with customizable settings and convenient tools for annotation. And the software offers two template-based reporting tools that incorporate results based on the data analysis along with your own custom calculations.

Complete Array of Related Analyses

• Degradation Data Analysis: Use the Linear, Exponential, Power, Logarithmic, Gompertz or Lloyd-Lipow models to extrapolate the failure times of a product based on its performance (degradation) over a period of time.
• Warranty Data Analysis: A choice of data entry formats for using sales/returns data to perform life data analysis and make warranty projections: Nevada Chart, Times-to-Failure, Dates of Failure or Usage (e.g., mileage, cycles, etc.).
• Non-Parametric Life Data Analysis: Use Kaplan-Meier, Simple Actuarial or Standard Actuarial techniques for non-parametric life data analysis.
• Reliability Test Design: Determine the appropriate sample size, test duration or other variables for designing effective reliability tests and demonstration tests.
• Repairable System Analysis: Use the General Renewal Process (GRP) model or the Mean Cumulative Function (MCF) to analyze recurrent event data. Or use the specialized Event Log Folio to convert system failure and repair data into times-to-failure and times-to-repair.
• Monte Carlo Simulation: Automatically perform analyses on simulated data sets in order to investigate confidence bounds, testing scenarios and many other reliability engineering questions.

Why Upgrade to Version 8?

Weibull++ 8 offers a completely updated user interface and many useful new features. This includes:

• Integration into the Synthesis Platform, which allows multiple users throughout the organization to share analysis information between Weibull++, ALTA, BlockSim, Xfmea and/or RCM++.
• New tools for test design and selecting the target reliability that will minimize cost and maximize ROI.
• Improvements to existing tools, such as the redesigned QCP, color-coding to facilitate data entry, automatic time units conversion, new plots for stress-strength and life comparisons, and the ability to obtain the life model directly from within degradation and non-parametric LDA folios.
