MADE Fault Tree Analysis

High-fidelity fault trees. Any workflow.

Model-based, manual, or hybrid Fault Tree Analysis — all with traceability, flexibility and certification-ready confidence.

MADE’s Fault Tree Analysis capability gives engineering teams the freedom to choose the workflow that best suits their project phase, system maturity and analysis objectives.

Whether rapidly constructing a manual FTA, generating a fully model-based FTA directly from the system architecture or Digital Risk Twin, or combining both approaches in a hybrid workflow, MADE adapts to the way engineers actually work.

Manual Rapid FTA creation for early-phase, legacy or exploratory analysis.
Model-Based Generate fault trees directly from the system model and Digital Risk Twin.
Hybrid Start manually, then progressively connect to the model for traceability.

Flexible Fault Trees

One platform. Any workflow. Total confidence.

Traditional FTA tools produce static analyses disconnected from system design. MADE delivers a model-based Fault Tree Analysis engine directly integrated with system models and the Digital Risk Twin, ensuring fault trees can stay synchronised as the system evolves.

For added flexibility, engineers can also create or extend analyses manually without sacrificing traceability, speed or certification-grade confidence across the lifecycle.

Manual for speed. Model-based for precision. Hybrid for reality.

Fault Tree Analysis that adapts to the project.

For early-phase or legacy analyses, MADE enables rapid manual FTA creation with intelligent logic, fully upgradable into the model-based environment.

Intelligent gate logic Automated tree generation Always in sync with design Dynamic visualisation Full traceability Certification-ready confidence

A new generation of Fault Tree Analysis.

MADE supports manual, model-based and hybrid FTA workflows, giving engineers flexibility at any system maturity level while keeping fault trees accurate, traceable and aligned as the system evolves.

1

Create manually

Rapidly construct fault trees during concept, early design or legacy analysis.
2

Generate from model

Automatically generate fault trees from the Digital Risk Twin using response path logic.
3

Synchronise and evolve

Maintain alignment between safety analysis, system architecture and design changes.
Workflow 1

Model-Based Fault Tree Analysis

Generate fault trees that evolve with the system.

Automatically generate fault trees directly from the Digital Risk Twin using response path logic. As the system model evolves, fault trees update automatically, eliminating rework and preserving consistency across design changes.

Manual Fault Tree Analysis

Manual today. Model-based tomorrow.

Start from a blank FTA canvas to rapidly develop fault trees during early design or concept exploration. Manual trees can later be mapped to the Digital Risk Twin to establish traceability and maintain alignment with evolving system models.

Why MADE FTA is Different

Traditional FTA software vs. MADE FTA.

MADE fundamentally changes how fault trees are created, maintained and used across the lifecycle.

Automatically generated fault trees icon

Automatically generated fault trees from models

MADE can automatically generate fault trees directly from system models using response-path logic, eliminating manual diagramming and ensuring the structure reflects the underlying system design.

Auto-update design changes icon

Auto-updates when system designs change

As system designs evolve, MADE can update fault trees to remain consistent with the current model, reducing manual rework and supporting iterative development cycles.

Integrated Digital Risk Twin icon

Integrated model-based RAMS and Digital Risk Twin

Fault Tree Analysis in MADE is integrated with model-based RAMS assessments and the Digital Risk Twin, enabling traceability from top-level hazards to contributing failure events.

Importance and sensitivity analysis icon

Importance and sensitivity measures

MADE includes built-in importance and sensitivity analysis capabilities that allow engineers to rank cut sets and failure contributors based on their impact.

Lifecycle FTA support icon

Supports the full lifecycle

MADE supports Fault Tree Analysis from early design and verification through sustainment, maintaining continuity of safety insight as the system is fielded and maintained.

Hybrid FTA authoring icon

Model-based, manual and hybrid authoring

Teams can start with rapid manual authoring and progressively integrate fault trees with system models and the Digital Risk Twin without sacrificing traceability or automation.
