MADE Fault Tree Analysis
High-fidelity, traceable fault trees - model-based, manual creation or hybrid.
MADE’s Fault Tree Analysis capability is now more flexible than ever, giving 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 (DRT), or combining both approaches in a hybrid workflow, MADE adapts seamlessly to the way you work.
For early-phase or legacy analyses, MADE enables rapid manual FTA creation with intelligent logic, fully upgradable into the model-based environment. The result is complete flexibility: manual for speed, model-based for precision, or a seamless hybrid of both.
Flexible Fault Trees
One Platform. Any Workflow.
Total Confidence.
Traditional FTA tools produce static analyses disconnected from the system design. MADE delivers a model-based Fault Tree Analysis engine directly integrated with system models & the Digital Risk Twin, ensuring fault trees stay synchronized as the system evolves. For added flexibility, you can also create or extend analyses manually, without sacrificing traceability, speed, or certification-grade confidence across the lifecycle.
A New Generation of Fault Trees
Choose What Fits Your Project
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.
Workflow 2 (optional)
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 from Models
MADE can automatically generate fault trees directly from system models using response-path logic, eliminating manual diagramming and ensuring the fault tree structure accurately reflects the underlying system design. This reduces human error and dramatically accelerates analysis for complex systems.
Auto-Updates When System Designs Change
As system designs evolve, MADE automatically updates fault trees to remain consistent with the current model. This removes the need for manual rework and helps teams maintain alignment between safety analysis and design throughout iterative development cycles.
Integrated Model-Based RAMS & the Digital Risk Twin
Fault Tree Analysis in MADE is fully integrated with model-based RAMS assessments and the Digital Risk Twin, enabling end-to-end traceability from top-level hazards to contributing failure events across the entire system model.
Built-In Importance and Sensitivity Measures for Ranking Cut Sets
MADE includes built-in importance and sensitivity analysis capabilities that allow engineers to rank cut sets and failure contributors based on their impact. This helps teams focus mitigation efforts on the most critical risk drivers rather than treating all failures equally.
Supports the Full Lifecycle: Design, Verification, and Sustainment
Unlike traditional FTA tools that are primarily design-phase focused, MADE supports fault tree analysis across the full system lifecycle, from early design and verification through ongoing sustainment, ensuring continuity of safety insight as the system is fielded and maintained.
Model-Based, Manual and Hybrid Fault Tree Authoring
MADE supports automated model-based generation, fully manual fault tree creation or a seamless hybrid approach that combines both. Teams can start with rapid manual authoring and progressively integrate fault trees with system models and the Digital Risk Twin, enabling flexibility early in design without sacrificing traceability or automation.
