Ansys SCADE Solutions for ARINC 661 Compliant Systems
Develop ARINC 661 Compliant Avionics Displays

The SCADE Widget Library is a reference implementation matching Supplement 9 of the ARINC 661 standard. It includes a complete set of customizable models for 94 widgets, 13 extensions and 26 symbol commands. Each item comes with a complete documentation set, as well as automated tests, further accelerating CDS development activities. SCADE Solutions for ARINC 661 also provides native support for multitouch pilot interaction as well as models for description of the widgets’ behavioral logic and graphical and interactive parts.

The SCADE Server Creator User Interface allows aircraft manufacturers and CDS developers to automate the creation of a widget library from prototyping—all the way through implementation to customization and simulation as models for SCADE Suite and SCADE Display. Create and manage configuration files that define the widget list, as well as interfaces and dependencies. You can even prototype and design new widgets for your project. Once the new widgets are defined, use the models for debugging and simulation of your ARINC 661 server.

With the UA DF Generator, you can automatically generate binary ARINC 661 UA DFs using your SCADE UA Page creator models and export to standard XML DFs. The Generator supports GBK/UTF-8-character sets along with Symbols and Pictures Graphical Definition. UA DF Generator Certification Kits provide everything required by DO-178B and DO-178C certification authorities, ensuring that you can certify your design.

The UA Adaptor for ARINC 661 Compliant systems makes it possible to generate C communication code for a SCADE Suite UA based on the connection data between a SCADE Suite UA model and a SCADE UA Page Creator model or binary DF. The code corresponds to “set parameters” and “get events” and conforms to the ARINC 661 standard. The UA Adaptor module includes a dedicated UI and APIs for managing mapping data between UA and DF at the model level.

The Test Automation Framework enables full control of the SCADE CDS Server and User Applications. It is used to build the automated widget tests delivered with the Widget Library. Users may use it to create end-to-end testing scenarios involving the CDS and multiple UAs, controlling execution step by step and analyzing ARINC 661 traffic.
