Various embodiments are generally directed to systems for designing, generating, and/or creating maintenance arrangements for repairable systems in an interactive workspace, such as for computer simulation of maintenance events. Some embodiments are particularly directed to an interactive workspace that enables assignments and intuitive modeling of a maintenance arrangement associated with one or more components in a reliability block diagram (RBD). In embodiments, a system maintenance arrangement for one or more components of the RBD may be generated in a diagram workspace by associating events selected from an event menu with one or more components in an RBD; and by associating actions selected from an action menu with one or more events via the addition of linking elements. In such embodiments, resolution of an occurrence of an event, such as during a computer simulation, may depend on performance or simulated performance of the actions associated with the event via linking elements.
