| New DC Worksheet options | SysML models can be structured by containment, which is a challenge for the flat structure of an FMEDA/SPF and LF metric analysis. For example, a BOM might be contained in a PCB model that defines the circuits in a hierarchical manner or a chip design could contain multiple levels of parts, sub-parts, sub-sub-parts, etc. The FMEDA/DC Worksheet provides a new option to select the corresponding level. In addition, we've added filtering of ports and transient failures from the SPF/LF metrics for a more convenient model/worksheet interaction.
|
| Separate SPF/LF for transient failures | The separate analysis of permanent and transient failure modes is now better
supported by distinguishing also the DC values for the different failure types at
safety mechanisms.
|
| SM Coverage Analysis | The FMEDA/SPF and LF metrics analysis provides a quantitative assessment on the
diagnostics of a design. While the analysis uses safety mechanisms (SMs), often one
is interested in a detailed evaluation on how important an SM is in relation to
others. Version 19.2 introduces a new "Coverage Analysis" table that lists the SMs
applied within an analysis and provides some statistics such as the number failure
modes or failure rate covered.
