Digital threads and digital twins are used to create the virtual environments needed to implement model-based system engineering (MBSE), especially for complex cyber-physical systems. Digital threads are complete records of all details of specific aspects of product definition, development, and deployment, from conception through end of life. A digital twin is a comprehensive virtual representation […]

What’s MBSE and what does it mean for designers?
Model based system engineering (MBSE) uses digital twins, digital threads, and domain models to replace document-based information exchanges during the system development process. It is widely used with complex cyber-physical systems in aerospace, energy, healthcare, and transportation to define features, design, analyze and validate a system using virtual tools. For designers, MBSE is an expansive […]
Semiconductor device modeling software adds model generator environment
Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced a new model generator (MG) environment that increases productivity for semiconductor device modeling engineers with improved automation across the entire workflow. Semiconductor device modeling engineers require automated tools to create accurate simulation models and process design kits (PDK) for baseband and radio frequency (RF) integrated circuit (IC) designs that leverage both silicon (CMOS) […]
Securing automotive ICs with formal methods
Best practices for protecting vehicles from hackers now include advanced verification techniques. John Hallman, David Landoll, Siemens EDA It’s no secret that much of the control for modern vehicles takes place via ICs, and any access to them may give an outsider uninvited control of the car. It is a challenge to identify the security […]
