Digitalization can do a lot for safety and certification and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform certainly provides strong enablers through its Model-Based Certification approach.
Model-Based Certification enables the safety and certification teams to run their processes within the same digital environment as the rest of the engineering team, thus facilitating collaboration between those teams. Actual integration of the processes in the overall digital thread further boosts productivity and quality.
Let’s look at safety. The vehicle safety assessment requires performing top-down and bottom-up Failures Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) across the architecture levels. Being able to manage the FMEA’s associatively with the architecture is a strong benefit that helps keep the assessment in-sync with the design and also accelerates the process by enabling the reuse of these data in confidence.
Coming back to certification, Dassault Systèmes pushes the model-based approach further. Through its interoperability with the Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (STEP) format, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports a Model-Based Type Definition approach, internally to the companies and is compatible with the certification authority’s requirements.  Moreover, thanks to its high fidelity simulation technologies and its simulation process and data management (SPDM) capabilities, the platform enables its customers to support their journey in Certification by Analysis, submitting simulation evidence of compliance to regulatory requirements resulting in large cost and time savings.
To conclude, managing these processes inside the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will bring a higher level of end-to-end traceability and confidence proven to build trust from the certification authorities and secure the capacity to certify on time, and on budget.
With the industry solution experience, Cleared to Operate, you can secure design performance from concept to certification. This solution aims to improve and accelerate testing, verification, validation, and certification processes.
