Claim:
1. A method for designing a system of electrical wirings for a complex system, each electrical wiring comprising one or more electric cables designed to allow the flow of digital, analog or discrete data between components of the complex system and/or the transmission of electricity to components of the complex system, the components of the complex system being grouped together in subsystems each able to perform a predetermined function, each subsystem in turn being able to be broken down, to a predetermined level, into subsystems each capable of performing a predetermined sub-function, the method comprising: distributing the wirings into functional groups, such that all of the wirings allowing the flow of one or more data and/or the transmission of electricity, directly or indirectly for the operation of the components of a subsystem for performing the function or sub-function corresponding to that subsystem, are distributed in a single and same functional group; determining compatibility between two functional groups that in particular consists of determining whether any simultaneous failure on at least one wiring of one of the two functional groups and on at least one wiring of the other of the two functional groups leads to an unwanted event in the system; and manufacturing a system of electrical wirings, the wirings being distributed according to the step of distributing.
