This presentation discussed how Phoenix software tools can be used to conduct reliability-based engineering design studies. At the early stages of many engineering design processes, there is a high degree of uncertainty due to a lack of supporting detailed component analysis. It is generally prohibitive in terms of time and cost to resolve these uncertainties via detailed simulation and testing. One approach that is relatively insensitive to these uncertainties is probabilistic, instead of deterministic, analysis. The ever-present factor of uncertainty, due to both controllable and uncontrollable factors, can be simulated to create robust engineering designs. SpaceWorks Engineering presented how these concepts are used to evaluate mission reliablity for lunar exploration architectures.

Presentation topics included:

• Modeling and Simulation Integration
• Trade Study Applications: Probabilistic Analysis
• Leveraging grid computing resources to run large trade studies that involve computationally intensive simulations.
