Visitors already knowing our website probably miss our solution to FE Analysis coupled with Reliability analysis: Nasrel/Nascom.
In 2001 we have moved to another FE+Reliability system, namely the FE program Permas by the German company Intes.
Permas by Intes is a much more powerful FE-code including non-linear FE-analysis.

Permas-RA (Reliability Analysis) is a coupling of RCP's programs for reliability analysis with this FE-code.

At present Permas-RA is coupled to

• Comrel-TI for Time Invariant reliability analysis
• Costrel for reliability based optimisation.

and will be available soon also coupled to

• Comrel-TV for Time Variant reliability analysis.

The codes have been merged at source-code level, which makes this solution far more efficient than other approaches.

A significant part of the integration work is supported by the EC in the Esprit Project EP28159: ASRA-HPC (1998-2001).
