Simulink Design Verifier

R2026b
Identify design errors, prove requirements compliance, and generate tests

Simulink® Design Verifier™ uses formal methods to identify hidden design errors in models. It detects operations in models that result in runtime errors and undesired behaviors, such as integer overflow, dead logic, array access violations, and division by zero. The analysis is distributed across CPU cores to accelerate results for complex models.

Simulink Design Verifier performs formal verification to prove that designs meet functional requirements and do not violate safety requirements. Formal analysis also verifies requirements for consistency and completeness. For each design error or requirement violation, the software generates a simulation test case for debugging.

Using Simulink Design Verifier, you can automatically generate test vectors to achieve model and code coverage. These test vectors drive your model to achieve decision, condition, and modified condition/decision (MC/DC) coverage metrics.

Support for industry standards is available through IEC Certification Kit (for IEC 61508 and ISO 26262) and DO Qualification Kit (for DO-178 and DO-254).

Flowchart illustrating a model-based design analysis process. The diagram is divided into three sections: Inputs, Analysis Modes, and Outputs. The Inputs section shows icons for "Model" and "Requirements." The Analysis Modes section displays icons for "Test Creation," "Design Error Detection," and "Property Proving." The Outputs section shows icons for "Report," "Test Harness," and "Test Manager." Each section is visually separated and labeled at the bottom.
