Automatic Generation of a Design-FMEA

A design FMEA is mandatory under ISO 26262 — and expensive to create and maintain by hand. This whitepaper shows how the algorithmic nature of the FMEA method enables full automation from existing engineering work products.

  • FMEA generated from existing UML/SysML models, requirements and test cases
  • Compliant with AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook and ASPICE 4.0
  • Hand-made additions preserved across regenerations

Custom Tool or Standard?

Decision guidance from 20 years of project experience: when a custom DSL pays off, when a UML/SysML profile is the better choice, and how to get from domain analysis to a productive tool.

  • Structured decision framework: DSL vs. UML/SysML profile vs. tool extension — with two real cases where itemis advised against a new DSL
  • Four sources of lasting value: early validation, end-to-end automation, secured expert knowledge, vendor independence
  • The itemis approach from workshop and live prototype to integration and maintenance
