  • Publication number: 20220092447
    Abstract: A model-based functional hazard assessment (FHA) is disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus for generating a model-based FHA associated with a product includes an associator to associate a function of the product to a failure condition to define a first association, and associate a hazard assessment with the failure condition to define a second association, and associate a safety requirement with the hazard assessment to define a third association. The apparatus also includes an organizer to generate the FHA based on the first, second, and third associations. Disclosed examples include automated FHA data validation capabilities.

  • Patent number: 11106838
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate an integrated modular architecture (IMA) model. An example apparatus includes an interface importer to import first IMA protocol definitions into a computer modeling environment to generate libraries and generate IMA model objects, a model object handler to import ones of IMA model objects into the computer modeling environment to generate a first IMA model corresponding to an aircraft system of an aircraft and generate an IMA system model corresponding to the aircraft by generating IMA models including the first IMA model. The example apparatus further includes an interface validator to validate the IMA system model by comparing an output of the IMA system model to a validation output, an interface exporter to generate manufacturing build instructions of the aircraft system when the IMA system model is validated, and a report generator to initiate production of the aircraft system.

  • Patent number: 10776530
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate an aircraft system model using a standardized architecture. An example apparatus includes a model generator to generate an aircraft system model of an aircraft system based on a standardized architecture, a model integrator to integrate the aircraft system model into an integrated aircraft system model, a power sequencer to perform a power sequence test on the integrated aircraft system model, and a report generator to generate a report including a result of the power sequence test.
