Abstract

A computer-based method for generating a component fault tree for a technical system is provided, including loading a data model of a failure mode and effect analysis for the technical system, generating for each component of the technical system a component element for the component fault tree, wherein component output ports of the component elements are connected to input ports of the component elements, generating for each component of the data model a component fault tree element for the respective component element, wherein each component fault tree element is associated with the respective component element, generating for each failure effect of a failure mode of a component of the data model an output failure mode for the respective component fault tree elements, and generating for each failure mode of the component of the data model a basic event for the respective component fault tree elements.
