Design architectures with system dependencies in mind
Define and refine requirements, specify function realizations, and design and optimize components across variants.
What can you achieve with this use case?
Trusted by
Create signals and functions
Define and create signals and functions to represent system behaviors and interactions, forming the foundation of your system architecture.
Assign functions to components
Map functions to specific components, ECUs, and their associated software modules, ensuring a clear definition of how the system is realized.
Understand system relations
Visualize and establish precise relationships between signals, functions, components, and software modules, creating a fully traceable and structured system network.
What types of data does SPREAD connect and analyze?
SPREAD integrates critical R&D data from multiple engineering systems and unstructured sources to provide complete traceability from issues to root cause. It connects and contextualizes:
| Data Type | Description | Typical sources | File Formats needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Function Data | Mappings between logical functions, software modules, and hardware components (including function hierarchy and realizations) | Company specific system |
.json
.xml
|
| Signal Data | Sender-receiver mappings, communication buses, signal properties, variants | Signal databases (e.g. DBC, ARXML) |
.dbc
.arxml
|
| Vehicle Architecture | Logical and physical structure: components, ECUs, buses, gateways, topologies | Company specific system |
.json
.xml
|
| Variant Configuration | Mapping of feature/function/component presence across vehicle variants | Company specific system |
.json
.xml
|
| Issue Tickets | Description, criticality, affected car, software release, affected function incl. linked parts & software, … | Company specific system |
|
| Data definition | As-is-state of signals, sender-/receiver-ECUs as well as the defined bits | Company specific system |
.arxml
