Yes there are!
There are two german companys selling some good but complex software (english version is available)for S/ D/ and P-FMEA.
Check out:

You can fill out the chart, built system-structure, functiontrees and failuretrees, analize your evaluations etc.
The first one works with files the second with one database for all FMEAs I work with.
