Overview

About Astah System Safety

Astah System Safety is a unified modeling language (UML) and SysML modeling software with system safety analysis capabilities. It enables systems engineers to create UML and SysML models to design safe systems that comply with safety standards. The software is designed for engineers in automotive, railway, industrial, robotics, aerospace, and medical device industries who need to perform model-based systems engineering with a focus on safety and risk analysis. The key features of Astah System Safety include UML 2.5 and SysML 1.5 modeling, requirements management, parametric diagrams, GSN editor, FMEA, FTA, ETA analysis, STPA analysis, SCDL editor, traceability, and documentation. It allows engineers to create UML and SysML models using diagrams like use case, activity...

User Friendly

PROS

I am using the software mainly for STPA/CAST analysis. I found that drawing the control structure (as part of the analysis) using Astah System Safety is really user friendly with very flexible user interface to customize/modify the diagrams.

CONS

The software in its current version does not support customization, which makes it difficult for researchers who would like to explore and test extension/modification of the STAMP methodology using Astah.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your candid review, Shufeng! Your request for the ability to customize table templates has been forwarded to the development team and we will inform you as soon as we add the ability to the product.

Using Astah System Safety for Maritime Systems

We are working on defining the system & software architecture of unmanned maritime systems. From the onset of the project it was decided to use SysML to capture knowledge and be able to communicate this in and outside the project team. The team is relatively unexperienced with the use of SysML and this is where STPA helps to structure. So far this worked. ASTAH Support are really helpful in this process too.

PROS

The integration of STPA and the SysML parts is one of the big benefits for us. It provides guidance in the conceptual design of safety critical Maritime systems. The SysML provides us with the functionality we need without exposing the team to too much choices and functionality. The result is a clean and easy to use user interface.

CONS

The integration between STPA and SysML can probably be improved. It is a possible to create hyperlinks between components / blocks and relations, but a more thorough and conceptual integration might be very useful. What also might be useful is a way to structure the STPA model similar to applying a package / folder structure in SysML. STPA Components can be used for that but it is somewhat awkward.

Reason for choosing Astah System Safety

OPM is quite intuitive, but also rathe obscure and OPCloud is hosted externally ( unless you pay a lot of money). Papyrus is overwhelming, mainly due to complex UI.Nomagic is very complete but is rather expensive (and we wouldn't use all that functionality)Astah has the benefit of STPA / SysML integration.

Happy user

My overall experience is really good. I have become used to with this software due to its ease of use.

PROS

Connecting elements is very easy. GUI is decent.

CONS

Not in line with recent version of GSN 3. Bit of struggle with coherent numbering of core elements of GSN.
