HQN review of Medini Analyze
Reviewed on 2021/11/24

We are using Medini to implement our Functional Safety Process. Overall, the tools is acceptable. It gets the jobs done with ad hoc works-around that must be manually recreated in different models. Should use SysML or at least UML as template in the same fashion as Sparx System's Enterprise Architect or IBM's Rhapsody.
Pros
We use all features of Functional Safety analysis. Medini allows us to have all these analysis to be coherently located in a single model. The tool is relatively easy to use. But, create templates to tailor the tool to our existing process is challenging if not impossible without expert help from Ansys. Currently, we cannot integrate Medini with our other tools except by exporting/importing via MS Excel or MS Word. And, this process is cumbersome and prone to errors.
Cons
Limited SysML capability to model Systems/Items and Functional Safety work products in Medini.

The expereience is good. We now use it to speed up functional safety and cybersecurity activities for various projects.
Pros
The most impactful features are the possibility to manage most of the safety life development of a product inside a single tool. Is possible to define an item definition, HARA, derive SG, create functional safety and technical safety concepts, link requirements, perform FMEA, FMEDA, FTA. All in a single environmel and with deep in treacibility.
From last version it also features security actvitity.
It also integrable with other company tool beacuse it support othe rrequirement managent tool import export (for example Doors).
Cons
BIRT, the add in integrated to create custom report template, is not easy to use and require some javascript programming knowledge. The user manual of BIRT contains very minimal informations and the only source of help is the Medini forum.

The idea is good to have all safety activities in the same tool. still Medini have many blockings for new users, where they feel more easy on the old classic tools than Medini.
Pros
it covers most of the safety activities and a change done in one activity could reflect on other levels/ activities too.
Cons
Tool take more memory and hangs a lot. Also Medini dont have user friendly options, compare to the classic tools we used for analysis, in particularly where FMEA/FMEDAs even a copy paste is not supported.

Great so far
Great so far
Pros
Extensibility: I like it how easy it is to extend the metamodel and enhance the modeling flow with custom scripts. This makes it very easy to adapt medini into pretty much any safety/security analysis workflow.
Reporting: The integration with BIRT is fantastic and the fact that you can automatically generate reports from top to bottom and export them in many different formats takes a lot of the burden off of the team.
Community: The scripting and reporting forums are a great source for information on how to get the most out of Medini.
Integration with external tools: The integration between Medini and tools such as SCADE Architect and Simulink makes the communication between system architects and safety/security engineers very straight forward.
Cons
I feel like sometimes it is hard to find examples on scripting and reporting. A more extensive documentation covering those would be welcome (especially concerning scripted data sources in reporting). This is a very minor con though, since the support we get in the Medini forums is top notch. But it would be a nice feature to have.

Ansys Medini is helping us to define a complete Model Base end to end. All the safety info can be stored in a single file, reducing complexity.
Pros
High traceability between safety artifacts. All in one. Allows concurrent work with git. Support is good and on time
Cons
You need to write scripts to increase tool flexibility and automation capabilities. Some bugs arise from time to time.
Reporting can be improved.

I have very good experience with Ansys tools, especially Maxwell and Simplorer. It helped me in my project where we reduced time to market time due to good simulation accuracy and prediction of performance before asking for physical samples from suppliers. Also, it is easy to share models with suppliers, which save time and money.
Pros
I really like the Maxwell tool for magnetic simulation. It is a very detailed and useful tool from the concept phase to simulation level analysis with the Simplorer tool with an easy interface.
Cons
Sometimes it is difficult to remember all tips and tricks to improve simulation speed and accuracy especially if tool used after some time.

Pros
the traceability feature is excellent, easy to use and follow. FTA feature is extra ordinary. make it lot easier to arrange and re-arrange.
Cons
1. it should be in a common server so that anyone with access can leave comment and update. at the end, the complete process can trace all the updates in one version, not in several.
2. does not have any easy way to share the work. need to generate *.mprx file in order to share the work / updates. very difficult to follow up which one has the latest update.

For those who care about traceability
Reviewed on 2021/11/12
Pros
One of the best features of the program is the easy linking of safety analyzes and requirements created in DOORS. And also having folders such as FTA, FMECA, hazard log, safety plan etc. on the same platform provides convenience for companies.
Cons
We thought that it was directly integrated with the fault tree+ program, but it took much more time than we expected. As a suggestion, a library prepared on the basis of EN 5012X standards used in rail systems will accelerate the spread of the program to the sector.
