MBSE with SysML: Automated Consistency with Rapid, Definitive Answers

Lenny Delligatti, the author of SysML Distilled, presents this 26-minute on-demand webinar discussing MBSE ROI. He presents data collected from four aerospace and defense programs. These data provide evidence that there is a higher probability that MBSE will result in a better outcome than the traditional document-based approach. Two roots of MBSE ROI are presented: […]

Towards Model Re-usability for the Development of Telescope Control Systems

During research and development (R&D), teams often discover similarities among system components within the same or previous projects that can be reused, with the potential of saving on cost and time. The overall development effort can be dramatically reduced by reusing the different artifacts. The ability to have a repository of reusable modelling artifacts and […]

MBSE in Enterprise Architecture Using SysML and UPDM

MBSE (Model Based Systems Engineering) is the future of SE. MBSE helps to improve the productivity of systems developing by moving from document based approach to the modeling. However SysML is neither a modeling methodology nor a framework. Our clients reached the best results using SysML within the Defense Architecture Frameworks. The main identified benefits […]

Meet the Newest SysML-based Document Modeling Solution for MBSE

We’re happy to introduce you to our new plugin that serves the purpose of modeling the structure of documents. Its predecessor, the Model Based Document Generator (MBDG), was developed in 2009 by ESO (European Southern Observatory), ten years after the organization started to implement a “one document” approach. The MBDG plugin for MagicDraw was developed […]

Model Based Systems Engineering for Astronomical Projects

Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is an emerging field of systems engineering for which the System Modeling Language (SysML) is a key enabler for descriptive, prescriptive and predictive models. This paper surveys some of the capabilities, expectations and peculiarities of tools-assisted MBSE experienced in real-life astronomical projects. The examples range in depth and scope across […]

Engineering Analysis on SysML Models Webinar

Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) promises an increase in productivity by shifting from documents to models as the main means to develop systems. However, in order to reach this promise, an organization has to implement proper standardized practices, which enables productive analysis on models. Organizations not complying with the standardized approach suffer from the loss […]

High-quality Interface Specifications with SysML Modelling

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 […]

NASA Perspective on Trends in Executable Models

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
