VisualSPAR™ - State of the Art SPAR Predictive Modeling Platform
The newly released VisualSPAR™ modeling platform implements Rapid Application Development (RAD) technology for creating SPAR™ simulation models. VisualSPAR is designed to streamline the entire modeling process, from model construction and verification, organizing scenario analysis studies, reporting and presenting model results, to building customized SPAR based Windows and web simulation applications. VisualSPAR simulation models can be easily integrated to Microsoft Office and VS.NET applications including connectivity to standard database formats such as Oracle, SQL, and Access.
VisualSPAR provides the systems life cycle modeler with significant benefits, including:
- Highly flexible modeling and simulation environment.
- Easy deployment of model applications for end-users.
- Comprehensive and efficient model debugging functionality.
- Database connectivity.
- Easy integration with Microsoft Office applications.
- Capability to merge separately developed models.
- Built-in optimizer.
VisualSPAR is comprised of 5 primary modules:

The Reliability Diagram Module (RDM) is designed as a Microsoft Visio-based application, thus encompassing all of MS Visio powerful diagram design and editing capabilities. Here, users quickly create Reliability Block Diagrams providing and export diagrams directly to reports. The system breakdown structure is contained in a separate window, providing for quick and easy access to any module/component of the system. |

The Bubble Logic Module (BLM) provides the framework for incorporation of user defined rules and logic, describing the operations and maintenance domain under analysis. The BLM is constructed within the Microsoft VS.NET environment, provides a robust logic debugger and provides easy to use SPAR bubble logic syntax for users to select from. Modern code syntax proofing and programming assistance features include; IntelliSense, Automatic code completion, Syntax highlighting, Errors check mode, Interactive help. Developing in the .NET environment allows for linkages to the internet, databases, mathematical libraries and optimization algorithms. |
