<p>A failure-effect validation system (100) includes an effect-modeler (104) configured to develop a cumulative effect model (600) for failure modes (302) of a complex system so that a model of the complex system can be extendible to form an extended complex system model. The effect-modeler (104) is also configured to develop search targets each of which includes logical expressions of notable hazards (304) and other factors that contribute to the cumulative effects (600), such as crew workload (306), safety margin (606) and/or physiological effects (608). A model analysis system (106) is configured to perform an automated analysis using the extended complex system model and search targets, wherein the automated analysis includes a graph search of possible states of the extended complex system model to locate search targets. And the effect assessment system (108) is configured to selectively generate a layout of failure analysis data including at least a portion of the extended complex system model and results of the automated analysis.</p> |
