Transcend: Qualitative Diagnosis System & Method

Transcend is a model-based diagnosis system for fault detection and isolation of abrupt faults in complex to very complex engineered systems. It applies models of dynamic system behavior to obtain accurate predictions for measured transients and compares predictions with actual observations to distill the true cause for the faulty behavior. To successfully perform diagnosis, Transcend needs a dynamic model of the system.
