'''''Sherlock Automated Design Analysis™''''' is a software tool developed by DfR Solutions<ref>Military Aerospace Electronics,"DfR Solutions launches Sherlock automated design analysis software", www.militaryaerospace.com, published 2011-04-04, retrieved 2011-10-24</ref><ref>SMT iconnect007, "DfR Solutions Launches Sherlock",www.ems007.com, published 2011-10-06,retrieved 2011-10-24</ref> for analyzing, grading, and certifying the expected reliability of products at the [[printed circuit board|circuit card assembly]] level. The software is designed for use by design and [[reliability engineering|reliability engineers]] and managers in the electronics industry. Because of the modularity and broad use of electronics, Sherlock has applicability across industries such as [[automotive industry|automotive]], [[alternative energy]], [[electronic component|components]], [[consumer electronics]], [[contract manufacturer|contract manufacturing]], data and [[telecommunication]]s, [[power electronics|industrial/power]], medical, military/[[avionics]]/[[space industry|space]], and portables.
Based on the science of [[Physics of Failure]], Sherlock predicts failure mechanism-specific failure rates over time using a combination of [[finite element method]] and material properties to capture stress values and first order analytical equations to evaluate damage evolution.
