For the highest requirements in the development, verification and approval of safety-critical applications and systems
Safety- and mission-critical software development
CADFEM/Ansys products and services help you meet safety-related approval requirements for embedded systems with up to 85% less certification effort. Automated certification steps are closely coordinated with standards.
General introduction to embedded system development
Safety- or mission-critical software applications (embedded software) are subject to strict certification and approval requirements. Systematic errors must be demonstrably excluded, which increases the process, development and verification effort.
- Testing and verification processes being carried out consistently at model level
- Reliable error identification right in the prototyping and design phase
- Initial avoidance of many error classes through the formal approach and automatic code generation (using a DO-330 TQL-1 tool)
- Less static code analysis and fewer code reviews and module tests
- Highly automatable integration tests

- Short and direct design cycles
- Consistent approach from the requirements to the documented application
- Incorporation into continuous integration strategies
- Comprehensive support and documentation (approvals strategy, tool qualification, design, testing)
- Faster development and greatly simplified verification and validation activities,
resulting in efficient workflows - Identical, demonstrably unambiguous and complete models, requirements, codes and documentation
- Proven strategies, certification kits and planning documents (development plan, test plan, etc.)
