PITTSBURGH, Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Esterline CMC
Electronics (CMC) is using ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) solutions to
quickly and easily develop next-generation primary flight display
systems for aircraft – reducing the time and costs required for
certification while speeding time to market.
Pilots rely on primary flight display systems for such vital
aircraft information as air speed and altitude. CMC had been using
a legacy tool that lacked the functionality to ensure compliance
with DO-178B, a standard that determines whether the software will
perform reliably in an airborne environment. Now, by leveraging
ANSYS® SCADE Display®, CMC is reducing total
development time and costs while migrating legacy flight display
code onto a more modern technology platform.
SCADE Display is a powerful and versatile graphics design and
development environment for embedded human machine interfaces. The
ANSYS solution represents a new generation of graphics software
development tools, spanning prototyping, display design,
simulation, verification and validation, and certified code
generation supporting multiple safety standards.
"One of the key aspects of our work with ANSYS is the ability to
validate the design early in a project, which increases the level
of confidence in the product and allows us to obtain early buy-in
on key features or tradeoffs," said Marc
Bouliane, CMC's product director, Integrated Avionics
Platform 7000. "To do this, we're using SCADE to present the
display application to internal stakeholders, customers and pilots
in a PC-based environment."
"Primary flight displays are absolutely critical to aircraft
safety," said Eric Bantegnie, ANSYS vice president for systems.
"ANSYS has a proven track record of working with leaders in this
space to help them meet the strict industry standards. At the same
time, these customers are realizing significant cost savings while
getting their verified products to market faster."
