How does object-oriented systems engineering relate to MBSE?
The object-oriented systems engineering method (OOSEM), sometimes referred to as object-oriented systems engineering (OOSE), is a systems-level development method from the Object Management Group (OMG) that combines object-oriented concepts with traditional systems engineering practices. It leverages concepts originally used in object-oriented software development and applies them to systems engineering. This FAQ starts with a review […]
How can MBSE be used in autonomous transportation?
One of the primary uses for model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is the design of complex cyber-physical systems and systems of systems. Autonomous transportation certainly qualifies for that description. MBSE replaces the traditional document-based system engineering process with linked models to represent and analyze systems. The use of MBSE with aircraft and spacecraft is the subject […]
Circuit board shields feature short lead-time customization
Modified CBS products use existing tooling and manufacturing processes to create near-custom solutions with short lead times and little or no NRE, while providing all the same benefits of our CBS products. This allows for any parameter size and custom shapes to provide optimal shielding and save board space. Designs can include I/O holes, trace […]
What are the nuances of a good MBSE model?
Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is a digital modeling approach to the conceptualization, specification, design, verification, and production of cyber-physical systems and systems of systems. In MBSE, models replace the massive paper-based documentation that was the basis of previous systems engineering (SE) approaches. The model provides a single point of truth for all the design and […]
How do SDLC and MLM relate to MBSE?
Depending on the context, SDLC can stand for system development or software development lifecycle. In model base system engineering, the SDLC (sometimes called the Application Development Lifecycle, ADLC) is a multi-stage process for planning, creating, testing, and deploying a system, including requirement analysis, design, development and testing, implementation, documentation, and evaluation. Model lifecycle management (MLM) […]
How do SPDM & PLM support MBSE?
Simulation process and data management (SPDM) is a software tool that manages simulation processes and data across the enterprise and the product lifecycle. In MBSE, SPDM can be used to help build and maintain the digital thread. SPDM provides traceability. It’s related to product lifecycle management (PLM). PLM provides a database for all information related […]
What’s a digital shadow and how does it relate to a digital twin?
Depending on how they are used, digital shadows take different forms and can be created using different techniques. Digital twins, on the other hand, have a specific definition within model-based systems engineering (MBSE): a virtual representation of a device or system that spans its life cycle, from initial conceptualization and specification through end of life, […]
How do MIL, SIL, PIL and HIL simulation and testing relate to MBSE?
Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) supports requirements development, design, analysis, verification, and validation of complex systems, especially cyber-physical systems and systems of systems. Verification (simulation) and validation (testing) are key elements of MBSE. Model in the loop (MIL), software in the loop (SIL), processor in the loop (PIL), and hardware in the loop (HIL) simulation and […]
Precision tantalum nitride chip resistors offer anti-sulfur performance
Applications that require resistors with both environmental stability and high precision have limited options. Nichrome-based thin film resistors have excellent electrical performance and stability but can experience corrosion under prolonged exposure to high moisture environments. Many chip resistors, both thick film and thin film, with screen, printed inner terminations may experience resistance shifts and failure due […]
