The INCOSE Biomedical-Healthcare Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Challenge Team has developed a reference model that uses SysML to represent a generic Medical Device infusion pump and a systems engineering process for planning, developing, and obtaining regulatory approval of a medical device. This presentation describes recent updates to the model that incorporates Buede’s textbook model for […]
One of the major factors for wide SysML and MBSE deployment in large industrial projects is the management of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) [1]. ICDs are at the center of systems engineering processes in most industries, and that is not supported in a straightforward way by SysML. [2] Interface Control Documents, known as ICDs, are […]
MBSE is an integrated approach. To get the best solution, large organizations adopt MBSE toolchains in their modeling environment. This process involves choosing the right tools from different vendors, applying client work process, and ensuring their inter-operability in the right way. Today we‘re delighted to share how MBSE is applied to model complex systems of […]
How modeling can be useful to better define and trace requirements In this paper, we will show how the SysML modeling language can be useful to complement the requirements process, i.e. to better define and trace requirements. The Systems Modeling Language (SysML: www.omgsysml.org) is a general-purpose graphical modeling language, defined by the Object Management Group […]
When I started modeling with MagicDraw in university, it was version 8.0. Even then, MagicDraw had nice productivity features and I really loved their shortcut keys when drawing diagrams. Now we have MagicDraw 18.0 version as long-term release (supported till the next big release) and feature releases are coming every half a year with improved […]
Systems engineering techniques have been used in spacecraft design, avionics, and engineering in general for over 60 years. At the moment, space exploration industries face new significant challenges: the largest optical and radio telescopes, missions to mars and exoplanets, reusable rockets, increase of small CubeSat satellites usage, service robots, and other. The constant increase in […]
Today there is increasing recognition of the potential MBSE brings to system life cycle processes with the increasing complexity of systems and the demands of the global marketplace. In order for the practice to realize this potential, system modeling and MBSE must be part of the larger model based engineering effort, and integrate with other […]
Enterprise Architecture Framework is a structured tool for managing the complexity of systems of systems engineering in the organization using different abstraction levels. Abstraction levels allow the definition of strategy, operations (requirements), and alternative tactics (solutions) needed to implement operational scenarios. EAFs provide infrastructure to ensure complete and correct specification of systems (including human resources) […]
Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is used to capture systems design as descriptive and analytical system models, which relate text requirements to the design and provide a baseline to support analysis and verification.This session will demonstrate how model of the system, expressed with sufficient precision, can be used to support early requirements validation and design verification, […]
Curiosity is one of the most ambitious and successful NASA missions. It is on Mars now. But not everyone knows that the generated code has been part of Curiosity’s Rover flight software since launch, and continues to run on board today. Code generated from state chart diagram is used for: auto-maneuver (Cruise phase), Spacecraft Modes […]
This is a demonstration of the Syndeia (formerly known as SLIM for Systems LIfecycle Management) software for the Configurable UAV challenge presented at No Magic World Symposium 2015. Originally this video was demonstrated at the INCOSE International Workshop at Torrance CA (US) in Jan 2015. We did this demo live at the Model Management Track of the […]
At No Magic World Symposium 2015 (NMWS2015) I presented the story about adopting MBSE using SysML in the development of Joint Strike Missile (http://www.kongsberg.com/en/kds/products/missilesystems/jointstrikemissile) at Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace. The presentation contains a hands-on description on how to organize a System Architecture Model as well as lessons learned in this adoption process.
No Magic and the University of Huntsville in Alabama (UAH) joined together last Thursday to host a one day Model Based Systems Engineering session (MBSE Day) for the local Huntsville community. We are proud to say the event was a resounding success. Over 50 people representing both industry and government attended to learn more about […]
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Communications and Navigation office (SCaN) has commissioned a series of trade studies to define a new architecture intended to integrate the three existing networks that it operates, the Deep Space Network (DSN), Space Network (SN), and Near Earth Network (NEN), into one integrated network that offers users […]
We were delighted to be invited to speak at 31st Space Symposium tech track and present MBSE usage for highly complex projects. At sold out tech track we shared the stage with Allan Lockheed Jr. (CEO of Allan Lockheed & Associates), Dr. Gordon Roesler Program Manager at DARPA, Jeff Greason founder and CTO XCOR Aerospace, […]
