Ansys SCADE Architect - Ansys Embedded Software
SCADE Architect is part of the Ansys Embedded Software family of products, which gives you a design environment for systems with high dependability requirements. It provides full support of industrial systems engineering processes, such as ARP 4754A, ISO 26262 and EN 50126. This product features functional and architectural system modeling and verification in a SysML-based environment. It provides a strong foundation to deploy model-based systems engineering (MBSE) processes and best practices. A key feature is the capability to generate consistent and comprehensive interface control documents (ICD).
SCADE Architect has been specifically developed for systems engineers; the underlying SysML™ technology is hidden, making modeling more user-friendly and intuitive than standard SysML tools or plain databases.
By using SCADE Architect in conjunction with other Ansys SCADE tools, system and software engineers can work within the same framework. Developers can quickly synchronize the system model and the software subsystem components, ensuring consistency of the software architecture and modeling efficiency — for instance, for the management of I/O definitions. Delivered with SCADE Suite, SCADE Architect provides an integrated software engineering solution combining software architecture and software design in a single, comprehensive user interface.
Systems Requirements Analysis
SCADE Architect Advanced Modeler is a SysML-based system design tool for critical systems modeling. The editor is user-friendly and intuitive for system engineers. It supports operational requirements analysis, functional decomposition, architecture decomposition and allocation of functions to components through drag-and-drop operations in allocation tables or directly from an object’s properties view.
SCADE Architect Advanced Modeler features the following capabilities:
Analysis of System Use Cases
- Representation of system use cases and actors interacting with the system in Use Case Diagrams
- Ability to refine uses cases with Sequence, Activity or State Machine Diagrams
Analysis of System Scenario
- Representation of operational system scenario in Sequence Diagrams
- Ability to link and navigate to actions in Activity Diagrams and states in State Machine Diagrams
Analysis of System States
- Representation of system states and transitions at any level of system decomposition in State Machine Diagrams
- Refinement of any state with referenced State Machine Diagrams
- Free text or signal usage on transitions
Analysis of System Activity
- Representation of the actions control flow within a subsystem at any level of system decomposition in Activity Diagrams
- Refinement of any action with referenced Activity or State Machine Diagrams
