Developing Safety-Critical Embedded Software Using Ansys SCADE

Overview

Training Basic

Applications for all control and regulation tasks in the industrial, automotive, transportation and aerospace sectors. This training is offered as a 3-day course.

Duration
3 days

Prerequisites
None

Software used
Ansys SCADE Suite, Ansys SCADE Test

Benefits
  • Reliably transfer regulation and control requirements into a design
  • Use SCADE in software development processes/classic V model
  • Understand the benefit of automatic code generation
  • Develop and test requirement controls until the target is met

Description

Ansys SCADE Suite offers module-based software engineering, not only for applications with the highest requirements with regard to functional safety, but also a highly efficient workflow for other requests in all embedded-software areas. The shift from the classic programming languages or modeling tools to SCADE requires a new perspective. SCADE reveals the full scope of its capabilities at the intersection of architecture, design and the right methodology. Ansys SCADE Suite is the standard tool in many applications, from the major aerospace programs like the Airbus A350 and A380, in railway technology, in industrial applications for medium-sized companies and the automotive industry – in short, wherever there are heightened standards with regard to the verifiable correctness of the software application. SCADE tools such as SCADE Test, SCADE Rapid Prototyper and SCADE KCG allow automatic code generation.

In this introductory seminar, you will learn the theoretical fundamentals, but the focus is on the practical transmission of knowledge, skills and best practices as a solid basis for a prompt start on your own project. This training is aimed at all software developers and computer scientists seeking a practical introduction to model-based software development. However, we also very deliberately appeal to technicians and engineers who are searching for a solution to their control and regulation tasks from the perspective of the application.

Do you have questions on the training?

When will I receive the final confirmation for my training booking?

Straight after you sign up, an automatic confirmation of receipt will be sent to the email addresses you provided. Once you have successfully verified the data you provided, you will receive your personalized sign-up confirmation, containing further information on course fees, the billing address, etc., by email within two to three working days.  

As soon as the minimum number of attendees has been reached, you will receive a final training confirmation containing further information. If you have booked an on-site training, we recommend that you wait until you have received this final confirmation before booking your travel and accommodation.

If the minimum number of attendees is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the training seven days before it is due to start at the latest. We are happy to inform you on changing your booking to an alternative date. Please note that we accept no liability for hotel or travel bookings that attendees have already made.

When is the sign-up deadline for a training?

Training places will generally be allocated based on the order in which attendees sign up. For this reason, we always recommend booking for your desired date as early as possible.

As long as a coures still has free places, it can be booked.

At what time do the training courses begin and end?

Usually the training courses start at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm of the respective local time. The actual course times will be stated in the booking confirmation. Please note that, depending on the training host, there may be a possible time shift between your and the provider's local time.
