Simulation-Driven Safety Analysis Through Fault Injection Testing

Engineers focused on safety need to examine the impact of faults to assess the robustness of their systems. Comprehensive safety analyses, particularly the industry-standard failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), are necessary activities to design safe systems. In this talk, learn about the advanced fault simulation capabilities in MATLAB^® and Simulink^® that are helping engineers perform these analyses and gain more detailed insights about their systems, faster.

Discover show how you can inject faults into a system model without needing any changes to the initial design. This technique is applicable to a variety of modeling environments and is particularly suited to handling faults that are either timed or conditionally triggered by the system’s behaviour.

You will also learn the strategies for establishing clear and formalized connections between system faults, associated hazards, and the logic for fault detection and mitigation. These strategies are crucial for creating a thorough safety analysis framework that can be integrated into the overall system design process.
