MOCARS: a Monte Carlo code for determining distribution and simulation limits and ranking system components by importance. [In FORTRAN IV for CDC CYBER 76-173]
MOCARS is a computer program designed for use on the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) CDC CYBER 76-173 computer system that uses Monte Carlo techniques to determine the distribution and simulation limits for a function. In use, the MOCARS program randomly samples data from any of the 12 different user-specified probability distributions and either evaluates a user-specified function or cut set system unavailability using the sample data. After data ordering, the values at various quantities and associated confidence bounds are calculated for output. If the cut set unavailability function is evaluated, MOCARS can determine the importance ranking for components in the unavailability calculation. Frequency and cumulative distribution histograms from the sample data are also available for output on microfilm. 39 figures, 4 tables.
