This document provides a workflow guideline for the functional safety environment medini™ analyze. It is supposed to help users to start working with the product, and to guide them through the functional safety activities according to ISO 26262.

Ansys medini™ analyze is a toolset supporting the safety analysis and design for software controlled safety critical functions. It is specifically tailored to ISO 26262 and integrates system architecture design and software functional design with risk and hazard analysis methods - Hazard List, Risk Graph, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), as well as Hardware Architectural Metrics (SPF/LF Metrics).

Ansys medini™ analyze provides for a central management of all the safety goals and corresponding safety requirements. medini™ analyze helps you to trace and track all safety relevant information and decisions throughout the whole safety life-cycle.

The tight integration with development tools like MATLAB®/Simulink®/Stateflow® guarantees the consistency between the artifacts of the architecture, software functional design and the artifacts of the safety analysis. The unique integration of functional safety methods and development artifacts by medini™ analyze provides unequalled rich traceability, change control and consistency between all models involved.
