A computer code for evaluating the unreliability/unavailability of complex systems defined in the fault-tree representation is described. It uses a successive reductions approach with pattern recognition; the realization is based on various programming techniques from IBM PL/1 language. The code can take into account several present-day problems: multi-dependencies treatment, uncertainties in the reliability data parameters, influence of common mode failures … The code has been running steadily for two years.
