The Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA) module allows to define Failure Conditions, Functional Failures and Failures Modes and link these safety features to system components and functions. The proposed implementation has been specifically designed to fit the FHA as prescribed in aerospace standards (see also ARP-4761) to the Capella/Arcadia framework.
The following picture presents the metamodel implented in ATICA4CAPELLA and the association relationships between the safety features and the Capella elements across the different layers of the systems engineering process:
Plugin activation
After activation, a folder named "MBSA Package" shall appear under System Analysis. Then, create a new System Architecture Blank diagram, activate the safety perspective (on the upper bar in the diagram) and the Failure Condition creator will appear in the diagram creator palette.

Creation of failure conditions and association to model elements
Starting from the System Architecture Blank (SAB), failure conditions could be created using the diagram palette. Select a Failure Condition and drag and drop the element into a System Function.
Configure the Failure Condition properties (such as failure effect and severity) using the contextual menu (double click on the Failure Condition element).
Functional Hazard Analysis
The FHA is created automatically, retrieving all Failure Conditions associated to System Functions in the model.
To create the FHA, click on System Analysis -> New diagram / table -> FHA
