Flexible and Intuitive Interface
Easy to Build Flowchart Models
With
RENO, you will use the familiar
and intuitive flowcharting concept to build models for the scenarios
that you are trying to understand, quantify and/or simulate. The
software provides a full array of building blocks for these
flowcharts (called “constructs”) to serve different functions within
the model. For example, Conditional Blocks allow you to define
“If/Then” statements that trigger one response if the condition is
met (TRUE) and another if it is not (FALSE). You can also define
various types of global variables (called “definitions”) that are
available throughout the project. For example, Random Variables
provide values based on a specified statistical distribution. You
will employ easy point-and-click and drag-and-drop techniques to
use these components to build simple or complex flowchart models.

Flexible
Interface to Organize the Analysis
RENO’s flexible user interface
makes it easy to enter and manage the information required to
perform analyses. Using the intuitive, hierarchical "Project
Explorer" approach that was first introduced in ReliaSoft's
BlockSim
software, RENO makes it easy for you to manage one or many flowchart
models together with the definitions and constructs used to build
them. The optional Template feature allows you to pre-define
constructs that can be used in multiple flowcharts to save time and
ensure consistency.
Your projects can also include Excel®-compatible spreadsheets for
your own custom analyses. These spreadsheets provide complete
in-cell formula support, over 140 built-in functions and a wizard to
help you build your own custom graphical charts. In addition, the
Attachments feature makes it easy to keep supporting documentation
and other related files together with the analysis.

Item
Properties Table to View/Edit Project Information in a Spreadsheet
The Item Properties Table allows you to view and edit the
data in your project in an Excel®-compatible spreadsheet format.
This makes it easy to quickly update analysis properties without
having to open and save each record individually. It also allows you
to export or copy/paste this information to use in reports or your
own custom analyses.

Definitions
Report to Manage Analysis Components
The Definitions Report provides a summary of the global variables
that have been defined in your project. This report identifies the
flowcharts and other definitions that reference each defined
variable. The utility can also automatically remove unused
definitions from your project with the click of a button.
