Abstract: Join us for this session on leveraging Ansys medini analyze to streamline safety analysis across system architectures. Designed to address the complexities of industries like automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment, medini supports safety standards such as ISO 26262 and ARP4761 with integrated workflows for hazard analysis, risk assessment, FMEA, and fault tree analysis. Discover how its model-based approach enhances traceability, reduces manual errors, and accelerates compliance with regulatory requirements.

Bio: Michael Soden works as Senior Product Manager at Ansys in Berlin (Germany) leading the Safety and System Architecture Modeling product lines. The last 15 years, his focus has been on the implementation of model-based methods for safety and reliability in Automotive as well as Aerospace & Defense applications. Michael received his diploma in computer science from the Technical University Berlin in 2003 and holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the Systems Analysis and Simulation Department of the Humboldt Universität Berlin. He is co-author on a book on fault tree analysis *)
