PITTSBURGH, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru
Corporation is pioneering revolutionary control systems that
deliver unrivaled safety and reliability performance for their next
generation hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) using
ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) embedded software solutions. ANSYS
enables Subaru Corporation engineers to quickly and accurately
generate highly sophisticated software code that ensures the
operational reliability of key, interconnected HEV systems to help
keep drivers safe on the road.
Designing electronic control units (ECUs) that effectively
manage and maintain safety, performance and energy efficiency is a
top priority for HEV designers. Synchronizing and tightly
integrating these components requires a faultless control system to
ensure that safety-related, mission-critical functions, such as
steering and braking, are fully operational in the wake of
unpredictable events that could trigger a system failure.
Subaru Corporation engineers leverage ANSYS
SCADE® to rapidly and precisely design and validate
embedded software for the new e-Boxer system. Increasing
development automation to 95% with SCADE, Subaru dramatically
expedites software code creation by nearly eliminating the need for
human intervention. This substantially increases productivity
and significantly reduces costs, production time and the amount of
documentation required for final code verification.
"ANSYS SCADE plays a pivotal role for driving the end-to-end
creation of highly complex ECU software code with unparalleled
speed, efficiency and accuracy," said Yuji
Kawakami, senior engineer, Electronics Engineering
Department at Subaru Corporation. "Utilizing SCADE increased our
development automation by 15%, permitting us to swiftly innovate
new ECU technology and accelerate its path to market faster than
ever — delivering a major competitive advantage."
"ANSYS SCADE is a critical, industry-leading tool for
cost-effectively automating the complicated process of developing
ECUs, which are comprised of countless lines of underlying software
code and must comply with strict industry regulations," said
Gunther Siegel, senior product line
director at ANSYS. "By leveraging SCADE, engineers can expedite the
creation of accurate, highly reliable, mission-critical code that
keeps HEVs running at peak performance and industry leaders like
Subaru Corporation at the forefront of HEV design."
