RENO Product Features

In the past, solving complex risk or decision analysis problems required you to purchase a specific tool designed for a specific type of analysis or use some type of programming language to create your own simulation utility.

Now, ReliaSoft's RENO software employs a visual and intuitive flowcharting approach to make it possible to build your own flowchart models for analyzing even the most complex probabilistic or deterministic scenarios. RENO is unique in the fact that it gives you the flexibility of a computer language, but instead of writing computer code, you use the familiar flowcharting concept to build your analysis ("write your program").

Potential Applications

You can use RENO for risk analysis, complex reliability modeling, decision making, maintenance planning, optimization, operational research, financial analysis and much more!

Easy to Build Flowchart Models

The software provides a full array of definitions and constructs required to build flowchart models, including constants, random variables, equation variables, conditional blocks, logic gates, result storage blocks, flag markers and more.

Flexible Array of Results with Multiple Display Options

RENO allows you to execute/simulate your flowchart models to generate a wide variety of results, including averages, sums, arrays and minimum/maximum values. Results can be displayed during the execution/simulation, in spreadsheets, in the flowchart and/or in plots.

Intelligent Features for Equation Building

The software provides more than 100 reserved keywords and built-in functions along with intelligent features, such as auto-complete, color-coding and variable preview, to assist with building equations.

Debugger Utility

RENO includes an integrated utility to help you validate and "debug" your flowchart models by allowing you to move through each step in the flowchart and watch the values as each definition or construct is executed.

Sensitivity Analysis and Optimization

The Sensitivity Analysis feature allows you to vary one or two constants across analyses/simulation runs based on the starting, ending and increment values that you specify. In addition, the software can automatically perform multiple runs to determine the value that minimizes or maximizes a particular result.
