PITTSBURGH, Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Engineers can
drastically reduce development costs and be confident that their
automotive embedded software applications generated using
ANSYS® SCADE® will meet stringent safety
standards with the ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) ISO 26262-qualified code
generator.
As automobile electronics – including dashboards and head-up
displays – become more prevalent and sophisticated, ensuring the
reliability of the embedded software code within those systems
becomes safety critical. To help engineers meet new industry and
regulatory standards, TUV SUD Rail GmbH has assessed that the code
generators in ANSYS SCADE Suite KCG 6.4 and ANSYS SCADE Display KCG
6.4.3 are suitable for developing ISO 26262 compliant applications
up to ASIL D – the highest safety requirement for automotive
applications.
The ISO 26262 standard defines functional safety for automotive
equipment applicable throughout the lifecycle of all automotive
electronic and electrical safety-related systems. TUV SUD is a
leading global testing and inspection organization with more than
13,000 certified experts providing consulting, testing,
certification and training services at more than 600 locations in
Europe and the United States.
"We are pleased that the latest versions of SCADE Suite KCG and
SCADE Display KCG have received an additional certification,
expanding our depth into the automotive industry, as we continue to
invest in supporting safety standards and tool qualification," said
Eric Bantegnie, ANSYS vice president for systems. "This TUV SUD
certification reinforces the quality and reliability of our
model-based SCADE Suite and SCADE Display solutions and their
respective code generators for automotive customers."
SCADE Suite, a model-based tool suite for the development for
control software, and SCADE Display, a model-based flexible tool
suite for the development of Human Machine Interfaces, were
designed in close cooperation with certification authorities at the
European Aviation Safety Agency, the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration and TUV SUD. The solutions are part of an overall
Model-Based Engineering solution from ANSYS, in which modeling and
simulation are used throughout the product development lifecycle
and as the authoritative definition and verification of a product
design. SCADE and the overall ANSYS portfolio accelerate
development schedules and reduce late-stage integration failures by
enabling engineering teams to systemically decompose product
requirements into architectural designs and eventually detailed
designs across all engineering disciplines.
