Data management and collaboration software
- Data management for model-based development and ECU testing
- Integrated variant management
- Direct connection to engineering tools
- Scalable from small local teams to globally distributed teams
Description
Application Areas
SYNECT is data management and collaboration software with a special focus on model-based development and ECU testing. Designed to help you manage data throughout the entire development process – models, signals, parameters, tests, test results, and so on – it also handles data dependencies, versions and variants, as well as links to the underlying requirements. One key aspect of SYNECT is direct connection to engineering tools, e.g., MATLAB®, Simulink®, TargetLink®, or AutomationDesk®, so that you can work with your preferred tools and seamlessly exchange data. SYNECT is ideal for automotives, aerospace, industrial automation and medical engineering – and wherever embedded systems are developed by model-based design.
Key Benefits
SYNECT integrates all your development data into one single environment. SYNECT lets you:
- Manage your data from model-based development and ECU testing processes in a central database
- Easily import and export data throughout the development process, thanks to standards and direct connections to engineering tools
- Track your data from one end of the development process to the other, and manage your data for the development of safety-critical systems according to ISO 26262, IEC 61508 etc.
- Reuse your data across projects, between individuals and groups, and for further variants
- Handle the large number of variant combinations which typically occur in the development process
Test Management
SYNECT Test Management
- Managing MIL/SIL/HIL tests and test data
- Off-the-shelf integration with AutomationDesk®
- Monitoring, analyzing and visualizing test results
- Interface to requirements management tools1)
- Integrated variant support
SYNECT Test Management supports the intuitive management, planning, monitoring and evaluation of all test activities in ECU development projects. The software offers special support for model-in-the-loop (MIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), processor-in-the-loop (PIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing by directly connecting test automation tools. Your whole team’s tests, test data and test results are stored centrally and made available for analysis and status monitoring independently of the test system and tool that you use.
1) SYNECT Test Management 1.0 supports data import from IBM Rational® DOORS® via RIF. Support of further requirement management tools is under development.
Variant Management
SYNECT Variant Management
- Define the variants for your project
- Manage your variant configurations
- Define relationships between variants and your development data
SYNECT Variant Management lets you create a variant model, specify constraints between your variants, and define variant configurations that need to be supported in subsequent development phases. When working with other SYNECT modules, e.g., SYNECT Test Management or SYNECT Signal & Parameter Management, you can specify relationships between your data and variants, and manage different variants of your data.
Signal & Parameter Management
SYNECT Signal & Parameter Management
- Manage signals, parameters, and parameter sets
- For controller software development and plant models
- Interface to Simulink® and TargetLink®
- Integrated variant support
SYNECT Signal & Parameter Management is used for the central management of signals, parameters and parameter sets throughout the entire model-based development process. It can handle signals and parameters of controller functions and ECU software as well as plant models. It supports commonly used file formats and standards as well as providing direct connections to engineering tools, so you can easily store and retrieve your signals and parameters. Data stored in SYNECT can be shared by team members and also reused in subsequent development steps and across projects.
