This article describes an approach that, starting with a overview of the system, leads to a detailed interface specification in clearly defined steps. The approach has been developed over the course of many technical discussions in collaboration with railway engineering experts of Deutsche Bahn AG. It is especially suitable for creating high-quality specifications in the complex environment […]

These videos demonstrate how to interchange requirements between UPDM (CV-1) and DOORS using Cameo DataHub. Cameo DataHub is a data bridge solution that enables the import, export, automatic synchronization, and creation of references between MagicDraw®, SysML Plugin, UPDM Plugin, Cameo Requirements Modeler Plugin, Rational® DOORS® , Rational® RequisitePro® , Cameo Requirements+, and CSV files. DOORS […]

Systems of Systems Engineering (SoSE) is a set of developing processes, tools, and methods for designing and re-designing complex systems. It’s a challenging practice that requires sophisticated tools like MBSE, SysML, and modeling software like Cameo Systems Modeler. The session demonstrates: System definition vs. system usage Modeling Internal block definition (ibd) diagrams (including tool usability […]

This poster focuses on the trends in UML simulation toolkits where tools interpret models instead of relying on generated code. This is an important development since it requires minimal configuration, can be used earlier in thelifecycle and can evolve as the design matures. Poster was presented at 2011 IV&V Annual Workshop by Tom Gullion http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ivv/workshops/ivvworkshop_2011.html#.VDxMvRak-8Q

CubeSats are a class of research spacecraft called nano satellites. The cube-shaped satellites are approximately: 10 cm long, have a volume of about 946 cm3, weigh about 1.4 kg. CubeSats are flown as auxiliary payloads on previously planned missions. MBSE for CubeSat: Generic CubeSat Reference Model and Simulation Challenge How do satellite states evolve throughout […]

This industrial case study reports the experience of a railway signaling manufacturer in introducing the SysML notation within its development process by means of the TOPCASED tool. Though the tool was later replaced by MagicDraw, the experience is useful to understand the potential of the notation for requirements formalization and analysis, together with the advantages and […]

Many systems exist in different configurations. A product line, a custom product or different designs for trade-off studies. The current version 1.2 of SysML doesn’t provide explicit built-in language constructs to model variants. The profile mechanis of SysML can be used to extend SysML with a concept for variant modeling. I’ve defined a simple variant […]
