Generic OpenPSA Models: The Aralia Fault Tree Dataset

This repository includes fault trees from the Aralia dataset, in OpenPSA XML format. The goals of including these models are to: - Serve as test cases for various PRA tools, including OpenPRA.- Familiarize users with different modeling approaches and formats.- Provide a reference for PRA model exchange. The repository also maintains a `schema` for the models. OpenPSA Model Exchange Format The OpenPSA Model Exchange Format (MEF) represents about a decade of effort to develop a format independent of any specific quantification engine. The goal was to create a standard that researchers, corporations, and regulators could use collaboratively in an open environment. Model Sources Models were gathered from the SCRAM project.
