Abstract
A system and method are provided for generating minimal cut-sets for highly integrated large systems. The method includes receiving a system model () and a scenario (), and obtaining a dependency array () from the system model () according to the scenario, with the dependency array () including at least one case (). The method includes selecting a case () in the dependency array (). The method includes querying a cut-set repository () to determine if a cut-set for a component () in the case () is already stored, and retrieving said cut-set; and if a cut-set is not stored, generating the minimal cut-set for the component (). And the method includes computing a final cut-set list () by expanding the dependency array () using the cut-set for the component (). The method improves the efficiency of cut-set generation applied to manufactured systems with great number of components.
