How to Perform an FMEA in MATLAB

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a common safety analysis methodology to identify and address potential failures in safety-critical systems. Let’s say your team has sketched out some initial entries in an FMEA on a whiteboard and then tabulated the data in a spreadsheet tool such as Microsoft^® Excel^®. You probably made some assumptions, such as a failure mode’s detectability. How can you validate these assumptions? In this demonstration, you will learn how you can use the power of MATLAB^® and Simulink^® to validate assumptions and automate steps in your FMEA.
