Ansys medini analyze

Safety & Security for Electronic Systems

Ansys medini analyze implements key safety analysis methods (HAZOP, HARA, FHA, FTA, FME(C)A, FMEDA, etc.) in one integrated tool. It supports the efficient and consistent execution of the analysis activities that are required by safety standards.

Overview

Quality, Safety and Reliability Engineering Ansys medini analyze streamlines functional safety analysis across the entire system architecture — including electronics down to the chip level

Ansys medini analyze is a model-based, integrated tool supporting safety analysis for safety-critical electrical and electronic (E/E) and software (SW) controlled systems. It allows for consistent and efficient application of industry guidelines, specifically tailored to industry standards, such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ARP 4761, ISO 21448 or MIL-STD-882E.

Features

Quick Specs

With Ansys medini analyze, inconsistencies in the functional safety analysis are eliminated, and the certification process is accelerated. Engineers can recognize up to a 50% decrease in efforts for functional safety analysis and a similar decrease in time to market.

Capabilities

Automate Safety Analysis in Electronic and Software Systems

Ansys medini analyze implements key safety analysis methods — e.g., hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis, fault tree analysis (FTA), failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), failure modes, effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA) — all in one integrated tool.

Ansys medini analyze is well integrated with other engineering tools and enables model-based safety analysis using standards like SysML. The application scope ranges from the early conceptual phase through product development, and on to the detailed analysis at the semiconductor level.

Capabilities

Key Features

Ansys medini analyze offers state-of-the-art analysis methods bundled in a model-based environment.

Safety Concept Modeling

Capture your functional, technical or HW/SW safety concepts in models, integrating safety requirements, safety goals and safety architecture. Features include customizable editors and graphic modeling functionality for preliminary, full-fledged and functional hazard assessment.

The software offers import, export and round-trip from/to requirements management for systems (e.g., IBM® Rational® DOORS®, PTC Integrity™, Jama Software, No Magic MagicDraw®, etc.), including custom attribute mapping.

Model-Based Safety Analysis

Find and solve safety-critical issues in your systems and components using inductive and deductive methods directly tied to your design models.

Functionality includes integrated failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA); failure modes, effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA); failure modes, effects and critically analysis (FMECA); fault tree analysis (FTA); and reliability block diagrams (RBD) based on structural and behavioral SysML models.

Reliability Prediction and Analysis

Evaluate the safety and reliability of your hardware design, utilizing well-established standard reliability handbooks/databases and widely used quantitative analysis methods like FTA, RBD, FMEDA and FMECA.

Use the built-in support for failure rate data from SN29500, IEC 61709, HDBK-217Plus, NPRD-2016, EPRD-2016 and more. This feature is a highly customizable and includes an extensive catalog of safety mechanisms, according to ISO 26262 and IEC61508.

Traceability and Validation

Validate the standard compliance of your safety concepts with automatic consistency checking. Establish rich traceability for impact analysis.

Navigate via traces to related elements in other models.

Teamwork and Review Support

Collaborate as a safety engineering team by sharing, comparing and merging safety projects.

Integrate with task management systems for workflow support. Project compare with two-way and three-way difference analysis and enjoy project merge functionality for team collaboration.

Integration into the Engineering Environment

Seamlessly exchange engineering data—such as requirements, design models and part libraries—with standard requirements management and system design tools. The unique integration of functional safety methods and development artifacts by Ansys medini analyze provides unequalled rich traceability and consistency between all models involved.

The software offers integration with the requirements management solutions IBM® Rational® DOORS®, PTC Integrity™, Intland Codebeamer, Siemens Polarion and JAMA Software, including custom attribute and relationship mappings. Export to various document formats including Microsoft® Word, Excel, PDF and HTML.

Customization and Process Adaptation

Easily adapt Ansys medini analyze to company-specific processes, guidelines and templates.

The tool allows customization of the tool data model and editors to corporate needs by profiling mechanism (attributes, references, queries), and features checklists to track process activities according to corporate workflows.

Reporting and Documentation

Generate reports and required safety assessment documentation directly from your safety analysis using a powerful reporting engine.

Rich default reporting capabilities are available for all created work products of medini analyze, including HARA, FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, checklists, safety goals and requirements and system design. Support of diverse document formats such as Word, Excel, PDF, HTML and more is included.
