What is the Model Examiner?
The Model Examiner ensures that your Simulink® and TargetLink® models are consistent with established standards such as MISRA and IEC 61508, and your own internal requirements.
Why should you use the Model Examiner?
The increasing use of industry standards means that it is more important than ever to have reliable tools to quickly verify compliance with those standards. The Model Examiner from MES offers a clear and convenient means for Simulink® users to check that their model is well-constructed and compliant with many of today‘s standards, such as MISRA and IEC 61508.
What Does The Model Examiner Do?
With an easy-to-use interface, the tool checks the model and highlights problem areas, offering repairs and corrections where appropriate. This tool is the only one to offer compliance with the new MISRA standard for automatic code generation and offers support for all Simulink® and Stateflow® models, as well as TargetLink® support.
