Develop safe avionics and flight control systems
ANSYS APPLICATIONS
Safe, Reliable Avionics
Avionics in an aircraft can include engine controls, flight control systems, cockpit display systems and other safety-critical systems. Safe and secure avionics are critical in ensuring the reliable operation of aircraft for both defense and civilian aerospace. Engineers developing these systems need to navigate several challenges, such as a growing number of software components, a large volume of data exchanged between components and numerous communication protocols.
Ansys offers a model-based approach for driving the analysis, development, and certification of avionics software. Our solution provides key safety analysis methods and embedded software development tools to efficiently ensure functional safety, mitigate cybersecurity threats and develop certified embedded software. With seamless traceability and transitions between safety analysis and design models, engineers can efficiently integrate certification and safety requirements, reduce development costs and accelerate time to market.

Deliver Safe and Secure Avionics, Faster
50% Reduction of Development Costs, on Average
From the architecture and design of embedded controls, mission systems and human machine interfaces, Ansys offers a model-based environment for designing and verifying software at the earliest stages of development – so safety is built in. Engineers can improve confidence in the final code through certified code generation and reduce costs by removing costly verification activities at code level.
2X Accelerated Development of Mission and Safety-critical Software
2X accelerated development of mission and safety-critical software. Development time can be greatly reduced, while adhering to ARINC 661, DO-178C up to Level A and the FACETM Technical Standard, with Ansys’ model-based software development and automatic qualified code generation. Ansys enables reliable, interoperable, and portable software, driving rapid integration and reusability across aircraft platforms.
Up to 50% Reduction in Functional Safety Analysis Efforts
Ansys streamlines the application of quality, safety and reliability engineering methods at system, component, hardware and PCB levels in a model-based environment. Engineers can increase productivity and reduce inconsistencies to deliver safe products that comply with standards like ARP4761 and MIL-STD-882E.
Lower Risk of Damaging Cyberattacks
By identifying every possible means of cyberattack — and estimating both their impact and their feasibility — Ansys protects against damaging cyber threats. This model-based, integrated tool provides end-to-end traceability, along with powerful collaboration, task management and reporting capabilities.
