Ensuring Safety and Reliability in Complex Designs

Ansys Safe Systems is a comprehensive suite of tools and solutions that supports the design, analysis, and verification of safety-critical systems across various industries. It enables engineers to model, simulate, and validate complex systems, ensuring they meet stringent safety and reliability requirements. Safe Systems integrates model-based safety analysis with systems engineering practices, allowing for a holistic approach to risk assessment and hazard mitigation.

Applications

safety critical systems & embedded systems development

Products are designed to support the safety assurance of complex systems in critical industries like automotive, aerospace, and rail. It offers advanced tools for model-based safety analysis, helping engineers identify potential hazards and mitigate risks early in the design process. Safe Systems ensures compliance with industry standards such as ISO 26262, DO178, ARP4754/4761, IEC 61508 etc. by providing comprehensive requirements traceability, safety verification, and validation. Its integrated approach streamlines safety lifecycle management, improving collaboration across disciplines and delivering reliable, high-integrity systems.

Safety critical systems based on vertical (Automotive - ECUs, Braking systems, control units etc.) (Aerospace - FCUs, EVTOL etc.)

In the automotive industry, Ansys medini analyze is used to perform safety analyses for E/E and software systems, ensuring compliance with standards such as ISO 26262 for safe vehicle operation. In the aerospace sector, the tool assists with ARP 4761 and MIL-STD-882E compliance, enabling engineers to conduct thorough risk assessments and guarantee the safety of complex avionics and control systems. Its model-based approach enhances collaboration and efficiency across both industries.

Security critical systems in automotive (OBD, Telematic systems, ECUs, Headlamp systems etc.)

Based on ISO/SAE 21434 compliance by enabling thorough cybersecurity risk assessments in automotive E/E systems. It offers model-based tools for managing threats, vulnerabilities, and implementing safeguards to ensure vehicle safety.

FAQs

What is Ansys 3D Design?

Ansys 3D Design is a suite of tools — including SpaceClaim and Discovery — that lets engineers create, modify, and simulate 3D geometry directly within the Ansys simulation environment, eliminating the need to switch between separate CAD and analysis packages.

How do I download Ansys 3D Design tools?

Licensed users can download Ansys SpaceClaim and Discovery through the Ansys Customer Portal. Contact CADFEM APAC to obtain a licence or request a free trial for evaluation.

How to install Ansys SpaceClaim?

Download the installer from the Ansys Customer Portal, run the setup wizard, and enter your licence server details. Detailed system requirements and step-by-step guides are available in the Ansys Installation Guide included with the download.

How can I learn Ansys SpaceClaim?

Ansys offers free self-paced courses on Ansys Learning Hub, along with official documentation and video tutorials. CADFEM APAC also provides instructor-led training tailored to your industry and workflow.

How to export data from Ansys SpaceClaim?

Use File → Save As to export geometry in formats such as STEP, IGES, ACIS, Parasolid, STL, and more. SpaceClaim also supports direct export to downstream Ansys solvers via Workbench.

How to create a mesh in Ansys Discovery?

Ansys Discovery generates an automatic mesh in real time as you run simulations. For refined control, switch to Refine Mode where you can define mesh sizing, inflation layers, and element types before solving.
