“…Traceability can be used to implement project and process management and to support automation; for instance, Pavalkis et al provided the integrated platform for the life-cycle process management of MBSE and PLM data with traceability management [39]. Moreover, traceability enables the management of requirements; for example, a recursive hierarchy was used in a requirements management system to make the system traceable from decision-making to its success criteria [40].…”

Currently, the fundamental tenets of systems engineering are supported by a model-based approach to minimize risks and avoid design changes in late development stages. The models are used to formalize, analyze, design, optimize, and verify system development and artifacts, helping developers integrate engineering development across domains. Although model-based development is well established in specific domains, such as software, mechanical systems, and electrical systems, its role in integrated development from a system perspective is still a challenge for industry. The model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tool-chain is an emerging technique in the area of systems engineering and is expected to become a next-generation approach for supporting model integration across domains. This article presents a literature review to highlight the usage and state of the art to generally specify the current understanding of MBSE tool-chain concepts. Moreover, the results are used for identifying the usage, advantages, barriers, concerns, and trends of tool-chain development from an MBSE perspective.

“…If stakeholders want to browse compositions in one block in BDD, a set of manual operations are needed to reach the static view related to IBD. Nowadays, in order to capture, analyze and promote understandings of development information between stakeholders, MBSE-driven visualization is provided to transform related system models and related data to a virtualized way for different stakeholders (Jackson & Wilkerson 2016).…”

Since difficulty and complexity of spaceflight missions are increasing, current electric systems in the spacecraft become growingly complicated challenging the spacecraft electrical power system (EPS) architecture development. By using traditional approaches, system architectures are managed by document collections including various reports, documents and data chats. Due to lack of a unified visualization of system architectures, consistency and traceability among data, documents and information are difficult to manage, particular in supporting architecture design and system verification and validation. This paper presents a model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) tool with emphasis on domain specific modeling (DSM), architecture visualization, model transformation and automated verification and validation by using Modelica. The MBSE tool aims to develop the architecture models of EPS, to support MBSE‐driven visualizations of architectural hierarchies inspired by related techniques of Google Earth and to realize architecture‐driven verification & validation by using Modelica language. Finally, through a case study of EPS, we evaluate the feasibility of our tool.

Costs to replace obsolete parts are estimated to exceed $10 billion annually for military expenditures. 1 Other industries experience high costs related to obsolete parts as well. [2][3][4][5] Synergies between Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and modular design concepts should be leveraged to reduce those costs early in the design process. To date, obsolescence management, MBSE, and modularity have been studied, advanced, and presented in a mostly disjunct manner. Consequently, work to synergize these areas specifically to mitigate obsolescence impacts is lacking. The research presented herein illuminates that the untapped synergy at the nexus of obsolescence management, MBSE, and modular design can be leveraged to enhance strategic management of obsolescence. Borrowing from the modular software engineering "container" concept 6 , the MBSE container modeling approach presented provides systems engineers, architects, and designers with a novel method to influence the system design by minimizing the number of system modules affected by obsolescence. By applying this model-based strategic obsolescence management approach early in the system architecting and design stages, system engineering teams can reduce the associated complexity, lifecycle costs, and risk of obsolete parts replacement. K E Y W O R D Sobsolescence management, SEE05 requirements elicitation and management, SEE24 modelbased systems engineering (MBSE) 1 A complex redesign is defined as one that "affects assemblies beyond the obsolete item's next higher assembly and may require that higher-level assemblies, software, and interfaces also be changed". 8
