Developing embedded systems is a complex business, not only because of the risks involved if these systems fail, but also because of the complex multi-tired design chains and multi-domain expertise involved.
Acquired in June 2010, Geensoft expands the Dassault Systèmes product portfolio by the systems engineering tools.
With this Geensoft product systems engineers can design, collaborate and validate their model-based embedded systems applications across multi-discipline teams.
Reqtify is a solution for effective requirement management by linking development and verification processes with the given requirements wherever they come from.
In software and hardware development with Reqtify you can therefore determine at any time if and how the requirements are met and fulfilled.
Reqtify also enable organizations to effectively manage their requirement engineering process and to ensure.
With the steadily increasing number of ECUs being added to modern automobiles and other smart products, the complexity of the Electronics / Electrical systems continues to increase and the development process becoming more complicated.
„AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is an open and standardized automotive architecture, jointly developed by automobile manufacturers, suppliers and tool developers. It is a partnership of automotive OEMs, suppliers and tool vendors whose objective is to create and establish open standards for automotive E/E (Electrics/Electronics) architectures that will provide a basic infrastructure to assist with developing vehicular software, user interfaces and management for all application domains. This includes the standardization of basic systems functions, scalability to different vehicle and platform variants, transferability throughout the network, integration from multiple suppliers, maintainability throughout the entire product life-cycle and software updates and upgrades over the vehicle’s lifetime as some of the key goals.”

AUTOSAR Builder is an open, Eclipse-based tool suite for the design and development of AUTOSAR-compliant systems and software.
ControlBuild is applicable to control and automation systems and application development across a diverse rage of industries from automotive, manufacturing automation, pharmaceutical production, power energy, railway transportation, ship building and water treatment.
ControlBuild includes a variety of graphical interactive editors for component-based design covering IEC 61131-3, C and electrical circuit diagrams, a structured set of component libraries (electro-mechanical, handling objects with travel and detection rules, toolboxes, regulation filters and automatic control functions etc) and a simulation environment for control software validation prior to integration and commissioning. It also includes automatic code generators for C and leading PLCs including those from Schneider, Siemens and Rockwell and the automatic generation of project documentation.
