Embedded Software
Embedded software is increasingly being used in smart devices, but imperfect code can be the cause of many product failures. Industry leaders estimate that every 1,000 lines of embedded software contain eight bugs. To manage this quality risk and meet higher standards for software certification, you need to leverage embedded software development and verification tools, as well as certified code generators.
Ansys provides model-based embedded software development and simulation environment with a built-in automatic code generator to accelerate embedded software development projects. System and software engineers use Ansys SCADE solutions to graphically design, verify and automatically generate critical embedded systems and software applications with high dependability requirements. SCADE solutions are highly interoperable and can be easily integrated, optimizing development and increasing communication among team members.

Model-based Systems Engineering
Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is key to using systems models to define requirements, design, analysis, and verification and validation activities throughout the development cycle.
EMBEDDED CONTROL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
More and more, in applications from commercial aircraft to autonomous vehicles, the quality of the embedded software development process determines operational efficiency and safety.
MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE SOFTWARE
Despite all their autonomy, today’s smart products still must interact with a human being occasionally through an intuitive, easy-to-use man-machine interface. You can optimize the usability and reliability of . .
VIRTUAL SYSTEMS PROTOTYPING
While physical prototypes are still valuable for late-stage testing of a new product, digital prototypes are the only way to go when you are exploring the numerous design possibilities early in the process.
FUNCTIONAL SAFETY ANALYSIS
The analysis and verification of functional safety for electronic control systems in industries like automotive, aerospace and defense, rail, nuclear, etc., are critical to system design and implementation.
