Simulation is an advantageous solution to calculate reliability of complex systems when analytical methods are not able to deliver results in time or when we do not have the resources to apply analytical methods. Proxel-based simulation has shown to be very efficient in reliability analysis of complex systems. In this paper, we present a package called ftaproxim for proxel-based simulation of complex systems using fault trees, developed in the R programming language. ftaproxim can calculate and plot instantaneous unavailabilities of repairable events and the system as a whole.
