Ansys medini® analyze™ functional safety electronic system analysis software is a model-based and integrated toolset. It supports the safety analysis and design for software controlled safety critical functions. Conceptually, safety engineers shall be able to seamlessly analyze the safety and reliability characteristics of the models that are created during system engineering. If these models are not available, they can be created directly inside the tool.
The rationale of the safety analysis methods such as Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA/PHA/FHA), HAZOP, FMEA, FMEDA, and FTA is that those shall provide a dedicated analysis view on the design, so that the safety analysis is not conducted in a decoupled manner but directly connects to the design.
