Control Systems FuSa Compliance using Medini for HAZOP & LOPA
When striving to develop products to IEC 61508 / 61511, functional safety analysis can be very time consuming, costly & prone to inconsistencies. This can be due to the challenge of combining multiple Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) methods such as HAZID, HAZOP, SIL, LOPA, FMEA, FTA & Reliability Predictions among many others.
Ansys medini Analyze uniquely enables engineers to carry out all PHA tasks in a co-ordinated workflow & integrates them into a sophisticated model-based system. This has been shown to reduce both the cost of functional safety analysis and overall time to market by up to 50%.
- Integration of Key Functional Safety Methods in one tool
- End-to-End Traceability
- Customisable Report Generation
- Efficient Teamwork
Watch our recent 3 part recorded webinar series on how compliance to IEC 61508 / 61511 can be supported by dedicated software tools such as Ansys medini.
