PITTSBURGH, April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- From head-up
cockpit displays to easier landing gear operations, airplanes
are getting safer than ever thanks to ANSYS® (NASDAQ:
ANSS) engineering embedded code software. Manufacturers have relied
on ANSYS to confidently design, simulate, generate and test
embedded code for over 100 qualified aerospace applications – more
than any other engineering software company. ANSYS software enables
more organizations to reach certification faster and accelerate
time to market.
Embedded code is becoming more complex – increasing product
complexity and risk. Manufacturers must meet performance targets
and comply with industry regulations to ensure critical equipment
meets safety standards. Companies are using ANSYS qualified
solutions for embedded software to design, simulate, generate and
test embedded code for over 100 aerospace applications that have
been certified under DO-178B and DO-178C. This standard ensures
that safety-critical equipment meets stringent safety criteria and
is mandated by government organizations worldwide, including the
Federal Aviation Administration, the European Aviation Safety
Agency, the Civil Aviation Administration of China and Transport Canada.
"No other engineering simulation company comes close to this
milestone," said Eric Bantegnie, vice president of ANSYS' systems
business unit. "By our estimates, there are several thousand
aircraft flying with ANSYS SCADE generated code onboard. Customers
who leverage ANSYS solutions reap several significant benefits –
they meet international standards and speed up the embedded code
development process, ultimately reducing the cost for
certification. ANSYS also provides all the tools they need to have
confidence that the code will perform as expected."
The applications certified using ANSYS solutions cover aerospace
and defense applications from nose to tail, including full
authority digital engine control systems, braking and landing gear
systems, flight controls, cockpit and head-up displays, power
management systems, ground stations and mission systems.
Certification can take up to five years when using manual code
development methods, from concept phase to certification, for each
specific application. ANSYS meets international standards –
enabling companies that employ ANSYS qualified embedded software
tools to reach certification faster— a two-times speed-up — and
reduce overall embedded software development and verification costs
by 50 percent.
"We found that when requirements changed during late-stage
development, human errors were causing a schedule and cost slip.
ANSYS' model-based design cut down the cost as well as improved
product quality," said Raviraj
Shivappa, group vice president of software engineering,
Meggitt USA. "We thought we would
get back the dollars invested in the toolset on our third project
with ANSYS, but we recouped our costs on the first two projects
completed."
