ANSYS medini analyze

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

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

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. 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.

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.
