FMEA & FTA

Safety Architect

Model Based Safety Assessment software

Safety Architect allows the risk analysis of complex systems by automatically generating FMEA and corresponding fault trees from their functional or physical architecture.

Safety Architect advantages

Graphical propagation of failure modes

Graphical modeling of software or hardware architecture with function allocations and failure conditions.

Generation of fault trees and FMEA tables

Component fault tree modeling and automatic generation of global system fault trees. Failure modes and effects analysis including critically and diagnostic analysis (FMEA / FMECA / FMDA).

Customization by business domain

Customized editors by business domains (FHA according to ARP4761 or HARA according to ISO 26262-3).

Interfaces with modelers and fault tree tools

Seamless connection to requirement management, system modeling and quantitative fault tree analysis tools.

Reports & metrics

Adaptable reporting and metrics. Exports to many document formats, such as Word, Excel, PDF, and HTML.

Versions management, differences and merge operations

Manage (create, display, restore and delete) the different versions of a project
Display the differences between two versions
Select some differences to merge to the current version or the target version

Dashboard and metrics

Manage globally the content of your model, displaying key information on blocks, events, failure modes, gates and barriers
Monitor the evolution of your analysis in real time through dedicated metrics
Visualize the progress of local analyses on your blocks, number of analysed and not yet analysed blocks

Integration into MBSE or PLM environment

Import your existing models to ease the start of your safety analyses
Systems models using SysML standard based tools such as MagicDraw, Rhapsody or Papyrus are directly importable
Stronger integration is also available for Capella and Rational System Architect (RSA), allowing safety data to be re-exported to enhance system representation

Activity explorer and process adaptation

Generic activity explorer for safety analysis activities, such as hazard analysis, failure mode analysis, FMEA and FTA
Adaptation of the tool data model and editors for the safety analysis process of business domains

Reporting and documentation

Adaptable reporting and exports to many document formats, such as Word, Excel, PDF, and HML
Import your dedicated tabular reports, such as Excel or CSV files, to a dedicated and customized editors of Safety Architect

Full integration with Capella

Automatic synchronization and data exchange

Define your safety scope in a dedicated viewpoint in Capella
Transfer your data to a Safety Architect model and navigate from one tool to another easily
Take advantage of the power of Safety Architect to perform your safety analyses, generate your fault trees, etc.
Reimport the analysis results into Capella to visualize your critical chains in the initial model
