Blocksim Availability Calculation

[Robbie]

In blocksim, the QCP gives a mean availability measure. If my simulated model is three blocks in parallel (A, B and C), I assume the availability calculation is then 1-((1-A)*(1-B)*(1-C)) - does this apply even when the blocks have different throughput (and hence importance)? e.g. Say A=50 units/time, B=40 and C=10. The reason I ask is the above equation I gave treats the blocks equally.

The availability should be the same regardless of what the throughput is ….
