Abstract To solve the problem of tedious modeling and difficult programming of traditional reliability simulation model， the reliability modeling process employing ExtendSim was designed based on reliability block diagram(RBD). A two units parallel repairable system was presented as an example in the case study， and the simulation models using two policies were built， namely “deadly repair” policy and “instant repair” policy. The comparison with analytic model shows that the reliability models are believable. The modeling method in this paper can be easily mastered by ordinary technicians and has a certain application value.
