US Patent 10216864 Fault-capable system modeling and simulation

A computing device may be used to create a model that includes a block. The block may represent a function corresponding to a simulation and capable of operating in a fault operational mode. The computing device may also, or alternatively, associate a fault scenario, corresponding to the model, with the fault operational mode of the block. Additionally, or alternatively, the computing device may simulate the fault scenario based on the block diagram model.
