A method for zone analysis. A zone is identified in a three-dimensional physical model of a vehicle. The three-dimensional physical model includes geometry information and location information for physical components. An effect of an undesired operation of a group of components in a zone within the three-dimensional physical model of the vehicle is identified based on the three-dimensional physical model of the vehicle and a logical model of the vehicle including a logical architecture linking logical components to each other. Logical components in the logical model are mapped to the physical components in the three-dimensional physical model of the vehicle.
