Robiinson, David G.

This software assists the engineering designer in characterizing the statistical uncertainty in the performance of complex systems as a result of variations in manufacturing processes, material properties, system geometry or operating environment. The software is composed of a graphical user interface that provides the user with easy access to Cassandra uncertainty analysis routines. Together this interface and the Cassandra routines are referred to as CRAX (CassandRA eXoskeleton). The software is flexible enough, that with minor modification, it is able to interface with large modeling and analysis codes such as heat transfer or finite element analysis software. The current version permits the user to manually input a performance function, the number of random variables and their associated statistical characteristics: density function, mean, coefficients of variation. Additional uncertainity analysis modules are continuously being added to the Cassandra core.
