The constant advancements in engineering and reliability engineering meant that newer, more capable frameworks for assessing risk and vulnerabilities have emerged, such as fault tree analysis. This deductive failure analysis that uses Boolean logic for analyzing system states is offered by talfta, a software designed specifically for performing fault tree modeling, qualitative analysis, and calculation, as well as fault tree simulations.

The application features a graphic diagram creator, which has snapping and attaching features for the created objects. This results in an easier way of interacting with the content, and an overall tidier look of the resulting diagrams.

Control over the created content and the project and its subsidiary branches is offered in a quick-access side-panel, which allows one to quickly access any required level, without leaving sight of the opened diagram.

The simulations that can be performed as well as the constituent elements that comprise them, can all be parametrized in great detail. We feel that the amount of customization that can be reached using the provided features is quite ample.

Aside from the quantitative analysis, the application also comes equipped with features for performing Monte Carlo simulations, which we believe is a nice touch, as such functionality can be indispensable for situations that deal with the necessity of calculating probabilities with the involvement of randomness.

This niche software can be the go-to tool for those who require the means for performing fault tree modeling. Equipped with a decent collection of diagrammatic features and tools that address the aforementioned field, it even comes with extras, such as Monte Carlo simulations.
