System Architecture

The development of embedded software for AD systems begins by creating an architecture model of the automated driving system in Ansys SCADE. This intuitive modeling tool generates a system-level architectural model that graphically shows the main function blocks for the AD system.

Software Integration

Ansys closed loop simulator solution, with APIs and middleware, enables auto-generation of safety-certified code that is target compatible for RTOS integration.

Model-based Software Development

SCADE model-based software solutions answer this pressing need for AD developers. From designing control systems to automatic code generation for industry standards such as ISO 26262 and DO-178C.

SiL, HiL and DiL Verification

SCADE and the Ansys VRXPERIENCE Driving Simulator powered by SCANeR support all testing and verification activities for the AD embedded software model.
