Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating a fault tree for a failure mode of a multi-mode system which includes a plurality of system components, the method includes the steps of providing component fault tree elements of the system components, wherein each component fault tree element includes at least one component fault tree mode element, representing a failure-relevant operation mode of the respective system component; selecting at least one component fault tree mode element representing a system state of the system; and generating the fault tree by incorporating the selected component fault tree mode elements the generated fault tree representing a failure behaviour of a system state of the system.
