SCADE Insights

What is SCADE?

SCADE (Safety Critical Application Development Environment) is a model-based development environment from Ansys (formerly Esterel Technologies) primarily used for designing and generating critical embedded software. It is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, railway, and energy, where safety and reliability are paramount. SCADE allows developers to create graphical models of their systems using a formal language, which can then be automatically translated into highly efficient and verifiable C or Ada code. This approach helps to reduce errors, improve software quality, and facilitate certification according to safety standards like DO-178B/C (aerospace), IEC 61508 (industrial), EN 50128 (railway), and ISO 26262 (automotive).
