Avionics industry requires complex system requirements with tight deadline requirements.
VisualSim Applications
• Evaluate project feasibility and requirements checking
• Hardware system sizing, and configuration
• Power measurement and management
• Software scheduling, ordering, and resource allocation
• Fault-Injection
Avionics industry requires complex system requirements with tight deadline requirements.
Fault Injection to Test Certification Credibility
• Slow failure: Power systems, devices, network overload
• Hardware failures: Complete shutdown of a circuit board or
network link fails
• Software Failure: Modified schedule table, memory value
• Deadline failure: Overrun on prior task causes the current
task to fail

Editor's Notes

  • #13 Here are the list of major Avionics customers and we really hope we can add one more name in the coming days  At this point I would like show you our software tool and an example model to just give you a feel about how exactly it looks and how the reports will look like.
