The document summarizes a webinar on how to develop and simulate models with no coding experience. It discusses using functional analysis and risk analysis to derive requirements. It also describes how to add cost elements and human factors to simulations in Innoslate and Sopatra. The webinar demonstrates building action diagrams to model functionality and linking models to other tools like MATLAB and STK for co-simulation.

Requirements
• Provides a means to model
processes, from which you
can derive good
requirements
• You can also execute this
process to identify timing,
resource, and other potential
issues
• Use risk diagrams to capture
and track risks to the process
and resulting requirements

7. DerivePerformance
RequirementsUsing
Simulation
• Innoslate and Sopatra
provide discrete event and
Monte Carlo simulation
• Sopatra adds special features
to determine if the process
executes within the available
operational time window
(AOTW)

8. WhatAboutHumanErrors?
• We discussed writing good requirements for medical device errors, but what about human errors
• Sopatra takes a human factors engineering approach to develop and analyze procedures that work
• NLP technology used to determine See & Hear cues and determine Long Term Memory needs

9. WhatYouWillLearnToday
• Key elements of functional modeling
• How the physical models constrain the functional model
• How to add cost elements to the simulation
• Introduction to scripting
• How to link to other simulation tools

10. ActionDiagramforFunctionalityorBehavior
• Highly expressive and model-based functional modeling (sequencing and data flow, with
allocation and resource modeling explicit)
• Drag/drop capable
• Executable in both Discrete Event and
Monte Carlo simulators
• Use this diagram type to model your scenarios

19. PredicttheFuture!
A well calibrated simulation can do this
• Remember what we do and how we do it matters
• High-quality analyses save projects, products, systems,
and lives
• Develop high-quality simulations by using Innoslate’s
discrete event and Monte Carlo Simulators
• Reduce operational errors by using Sopatra
