Introduction to
Ansys SCADE Suite (Self-paced Learning Available)

Course Overview

Ansys SCADE Suite is a software design product line for embedded control software modeling, verification and code generation. Ansys SCADE Suite provides a user-friendly and intuitive model-based environment for software engineers.

This course is an introduction to the Ansys SCADE Suite environment. You will learn how to create a complete project starting from modeling, traceability, simulation, report generation, down to C or Ada code generation with the SCADE Suite KCG code generator and final integration.

Prerequisites

  • No previous exposure is required.

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.

SUBSCRIBER LOG IN

Learning Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Design, check and simulate a SCADE Suite mode
  • Automatically generate the code
  • Generate design and traceability documents
  • Integrate the generated code into a target

 Available Dates

Currently, no training dates available

Learning Options

Training materials for this course are available with an Ansys Learning Hub Subscription. If there is no active public schedule available, private training can be arranged. 

Self-paced Learning 

Complete a class on your own schedule at your own pace. Scope is equivalent to Instructor led classes. Includes video lecture, workshops and input files. All our Self-Paced video courses are only available with an Ansys Learning Hub subscription.

Agenda

This is a 3-day Classroom course covering both lectures and workshops. For virtual training, this course is covered over 6 x 2-hour session lectures only.
