MBSE and Digital Engineering Workshop

MBSE and Digital Engineering Workshop

MBSE and Digital Engineering Workshop is a 2-day course that that covers Model-based systems engineering, Digital Engineering practices and tools, as well as methods like DODAF, UAF, UPDM, SysML, and more.

In the digital engineering era, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) provides increased efficiency.

MBSE also provides numerous other advantages over traditional systems engineering approaches, including improved communication, enhanced collaboration, and better overall system quality.

This all takes place with use of models that are especially compatible with a digital engineering approach. By using models to represent the system, engineers can quickly and easily identify potential issues and areas for improvement. This prevents delays and cost overruns. It also ensures that the system is created quickly and efficiently.

Engineers themselves praise MBSE and advocate it because of the way it promotes better communication and collaboration.

MBSE enables multiple stakeholders to work on the same model, which promotes collaboration and reduces the risk of miscommunication. This is important in large, complex systems. There can be many teams working on different parts of the system.

Teams can collaborate more efficiently with a shared model. This ensures their work is in sync with other teams. This helps reduce errors and inconsistent data. It also ensures the system is developed in an efficient and coordinated way.

One especially huge benefit is how MBSE enables multiple stakeholders to work on the same model, which promotes collaboration and reduces the risk of miscommunication.

This is particularly important in large, complex systems because there can be many teams working on different parts of the system.

Teams can collaborate more efficiently with a shared model. This ensures their work is in sync with other teams. This helps reduce errors and inconsistent data. It also ensures the system is developed in an efficient and coordinated way.

MBSE technical approaches are commonly applied to a wide range of industries with complex systems, such as aerospace, defense, rail, automotive, manufacturing.

NASA has been heavily invested in MBSE, especially in conjunction with its strategy bridge for future space-related projects.

MBSE is widely regarded as the future of engineering design and management.

MBSE, gives engineering teams the ability to control and manage the vast amount of data generated by the modern design and development processes. It’s effective, and like all sophisticated, software-driven engineering systems, must be implemented correctly for best results.

Model-based systems engineering and its value to industry are very important topics to understand for any industry working with complex products. That might be integrating consumer demand and market requirements with the more traditional development processes, but it can also be communicating relevant technical information between engineering domains in increasingly interconnected products.

The variability of what it means is why it is so important to look at different industry perspectives, even if an industry already has a grasp on the MBSE methodology – to uncover a process that might work from somewhere else.

Model-based Enterprise Market size is poised to cross $250 billion by the end of 2035, growing at a CAGR of 24.17% during the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of model-based enterprise was around $19 billion.

MBSE and Digital Engineering Workshop is a 2-day training workshop that covers Model-based systems engineering (MBSE), Digital Engineering practices and tools, as well as methods like DODAF, UAF, UPDM, SysML, and more. MBSE and Digital Engineering workshop will help the participants and lead to greater efficiency and improved quality of all the acquisition activities.

Department of Defense (DoD) Digital Engineering Strategy covers five goals to streamline the DoD acquisition process through the creation of a digital thread enabling the conception, design, and development of complex weapon systems including creation of computer readable models to represent all aspects of the system and to support all the activities for the design, development, manufacture, and operation of the system throughout its lifecycle.

Models would have to be based on shared data schemata so that in effect a digital thread integrates all the diverse stakeholders involved in the acquisition of new weapon systems.

Participants will learn about Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and digital engineering supporting acquisitions and systems engineering activities of concepts, requirements, architecture, design, integration, verification, and validation.
