Co-Simulation, Functional Safety and Robust Design Features 

Modeling Options and Model Exchange: SaberRD supports industry-standard modeling languages and practices used successfully in automotive, aerospace, and industrial power. SaberRD includes support for Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), http://fmi-standard.org, and includes the ability to both import and export Functional Mock-up Units to perform system-level Co-Simulation. 

SaberRD is the only environment that natively supports MAST and VHDL-AMS, two of the most powerful and widely used hardware description languages for behavioral modeling of power systems. 

Functional Safety Analysis According to ISO26262: Design and safety engineers can validate safety levels, fault recovery, and mitigation systems in SaberRD. Users can quickly configure hardware faults by selecting the respective components and nets from the schematic, or by using the automatic fault generator to model various functional safety scenarios. Real-world hazards can be simulated by setting fault timing and injecting multiple faults to match a particular failure mode. An experiment analyzer documents fault coverage and functional safety flows from simulation results. 

Monte Carlo and Sensivity: Saber enables system engineers to move beyond nominal design practice to model and simulate how design performance changes with manufacturing variation and shifting operating conditions. The SaberRD configuration includes robust design modeling and simulation capabilities, including Monte Carlo and sensitivity analysis, required to improve system yield and reduce field failures. 

Saber Multicore: Saber multicore capabilities parallelizes and distributes iterative simulations across computing resources to dramatically improve throughput and reduce simulation time. The Saber runtime library minimizes the time spent running valuable performance and safety simulations. Engineering and safety teams can simulate thousands of scenarios that would otherwise have been too costly to perform.
