The CALCE Simulation Assisted Reliability Assessment (SARA) software includes a variety of tools to support life assessment and reliability estimation of electronic parts and assemblies. The CALCE SARA software uses physics-of-failure principles to assess whether a part or system meets defined life-cycle requirements based on its material, geometry, and operating characteristics. The software provides design-capture facilities for importing design data, as well as interfaces for defining operational and environmental loading conditions. The software allows designs to be assessed prior to fabrication. The software supports the CALCE Design for Reliability (DfRTM) assessment process, which allows design engineers to interactively make design changes and rapidly assess their impact on product reliability. Using the software, the life expectancy of electronic hardware can be determined under both anticipated life-cycle loading conditions and elevated-stress tests. This information can be used to determine acceleration factors for elevated-stress tests. The assessment of life expectancy under anticipated life cycle loading conditions is referred to as the virtual qualification (VQTM) process.
