Ansys SCADE LifeCycle
Software Life Cycle Management

Requirements traceability is a crucial aspect of critical applications software development. It ensures that there are no holes or overlooked requirements in the developed system and that requirements are internally consistent. With a small time investment to clearly define requirements, SCADE LifeCycle can guide you through the design process. It provides a clearer focus on customer objectives, ensures correct system design and minimizes wasted man hours during the design process. Its ability to show the effects of changes before they’re made significantly improves management visibility and reduces time to market.

Thanks to the Configuration Management Gateway, one of SCADE LifeCycle’s biggest advantages is the ability to integrate SCADE models into configuration management environments from third parties such as IBM Rational Synergy, IBM Rational ClearCase®, Serena Dimensions CM and PVCS®, CVS, or Microsoft Visual Source Safe™. The Gateway is compatible with configuration management environments including IBM. It supports the source code control integration (SSCI) standard and data storage in ASCII format. 

Ansys SCADE Suite allows you to define a software design with graphical and textual blocks. Once defined, you can simulate a software design or any of its individual blocks using the simulation capabilities based on automatically generated code. Simulation and debugging capabilities include executable designs, detailed simulation of actual generated code, scenario recording and playback, early detection of specification errors, automatic non-regression tests, and more. 

Ansys SCADE Suite enables multicore code generation using the Multicore Code Generator. Specific instances of operators are identified in the model to become parallelizable tasks. The specification of these tasks is independent from the model, allowing for various configurations.

Ansys SCADE Suite easily integrates with tools for systems architecture design, HMI development and testing and application life cycle management, providing a complete environment for all embedded software development activities

The Ansys SCADE Suite’s Advanced Modeler includes Twin Builder , a powerful platform for modeling, simulating and analyzing virtual system prototypes. It enables product development teams to verify and optimize performance of their software-controlled, multidomain systems designs.

Ansys SCADE Suite extends and simplifies system design capabilities for the automotive market. It supports a development flow starting from AUTOSAR Software Component (SWC) to AUTOSAR RTE-compliant code generation for the Runnables: you can start a development flow based on the AUTOSAR standard to create AUTOSAR RTE-compliant code generated by the Ansys SCADE Suite’s KCG code generator. The solution also enables you to import and export AUTOSAR ARXML interexchange format, allows multi-synchronization between system engineers and generates compliant code.
