Introduction to
Ansys SCADE Suite (Self-paced Learning Available)

Course Overview

Ansys SCADE Suite is a software design product line for embedded control software modeling, verification and code generation. Ansys SCADE Suite provides a user-friendly and intuitive model-based environment for software engineers.

This course is an introduction to the Ansys SCADE Suite environment. You will learn how to create a complete project starting from modeling, traceability, simulation, report generation, down to C or Ada code generation with the SCADE Suite KCG code generator and final integration.

Prerequisites

  • No previous exposure is required.

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.
