Get started

Start here if you are new to PySTRA. Basic Python is enough for the first example; each later tutorial identifies the reliability concepts it assumes.

Your first steps

Step	What you will do
Installation	Install the 2.0 development package and check its version.
A first reliability analysis	Define resistance and load, run FORM and verify the result analytically.
Specifying a reliability model	Adapt the model, distributions and dependence to your problem.
Interpreting results and convergence	Inspect convergence, coordinates, probability and numerical uncertainty.

Choose your next task

Use Choosing a reliability method to select a starting method. The Comparing FORM, SORM and simulation tutorial compares FORM, SORM and simulation on a correlated nonlinear problem. Engineering workflows are covered in Calibrating code factors and Comparing structural assessment scenarios.
