Key Features

Ansys SCADE Solutions for ARINC 661 Compliant Systems provides a comprehensive set of automated features for CDS and UA developers to maximize productivity

Customizable widget library

The SCADE Widgets Library features customizable SCADE Suite and SCADE Display models for all 93 ARINC 661 standard widgets and 13 extensions of Supplement 7.

The SCADE Widgets library allows you to accelerate the development of an ARINC 661-compliant widgets library with a complete set of customizable models for all 77 ARINC 661 standard widgets and extensions of Supplement 7. The library also includes Project Documentation data and associated Software Requirements Specification for each model in the collection. SCADE Solutions for ARINC 661 also provides native support for multitouch pilot interaction as well as models for description of the widgets’ behavioral logic and graphical and interactive parts.

ARINC 661 Widget Prototyping and Design

SCADE Server Creator User Interface is a dedicated user interface that enables aircraft manufacturers and CDS developers to customize and develop new widgets using SCADE Model Based technology.

The SCADE Server Creator User Interface allows aircraft manufacturers and CDS developers to automate the creation of a widget library from prototyping—all the way through implementation to customization and simulation as models for SCADE Suite and SCADE Display. Create and manage configuration files that define the widgets list, as well as interfaces and dependencies. You can even prototype and design new widgets for your project. Once the new widgets are defined, use the models for debugging and simulation of your ARINC 661 server.

Automatic ARINC 661 Server Generation

SCADE Server Creator for ARINC 661 enables aircraft manufacturers and CDS developers to automatically generate the majority of the ARINC 661 server C source code.

SCADE Test Model Coverage, combined with SCADE Test Environment for Host, allows you to measure the model coverage of test cases created and executed on host. Even better, model and code coverage are merged into a single activity, cutting the required time and effort in half. Model-level coverage measures branch coverage, decision coverage and modified condition/decision coverage within a qualified development tool, according to DO-178C/DO-330 TQL-4, ISO 26262 TCL3, EN 50128 T2 and IEC 61508 T2.

ARINC 661 UA Definition File (DF) Prototyping and Design

SCADE UA Page Creator for ARINC 661 is an add-on that enables UA designers to prototype and design ARINC 661 UA DF pages as models.

The SCADE UA Page Creator for ARINC 661 Compliant Systems enables UA designers to prototype and design ARINC 661 UA DF pages as models on a host workstation. You can instantiate widgets and model all DF parameter types with real-time “What You See Is What You Get” feedback for all standard and custom widgets. The UA Page Creator uses the same front-end as SCADE Display with its advanced editing capabilities. Get started quickly with a built-in library of default widgets and a unified project structure across all SCADE projects for easy management of project resources.

DO-178C Qualifiable ARINC 661 UA DF Generation

SCADE UA DF Generator is an automatic, DO-178C qualifiable tool that generates standard binary and XML Definition Files from UA Page Creator ARINC 661 models.

With the UA DF Generator, you can automatically generate binary ARINC 661 UA DFs using your SCADE UA Page creator models and export to standard XML DF. The Generator supports GBK/UTF-8-character sets along with Symbols and Pictures Graphical Definition. It also provides full support of ARINC 661 Supplement 7, including new widgets and extensions. UA DF Generator Certification Kits provide everything required by DO-178B and DO-178C certification authorities, ensuring that you can certify your design.

ARINC 661 UA Communication Code Generation

SCADE Suite UA Adaptor for ARINC 661 is an add-on module that enables you to automatically generate ARINC 661-compliant C communication code between the SCADE Suite UA and any ARINC 661 Server.

The UA Adaptor for ARINC 661 Compliant systems makes it possible to generate C communication code for the SCADE Suite UA based on the connection data between a SCADE Suite UA model and a SCADE UA Page Creator model or binary DF. The code corresponds to “set parameters” and “get events” and conforms to the ARINC 661 standard. The UA Adaptor module includes a dedicated UI for editing of mapping data between UA and DF at the model level and provides full support for ARINC 661 Supplement 7, including new widgets and extensions.

Test automation framework

The ARINC 661 Test Automation Framework is composed by a set of Python libraries that constitute the building blocks of an end-user test environment.

It provides comprehensive services allowing the formal testing of ARINC 661 widgets, considered as black box software components that are part of an ARINC 661 compliant CDS Server.
