The design of complex systems often requires engineers from multiple disciplines
(mechanical, electrical, production, and so on) to communicate with each other and
exchange system design information. Systems engineering models are a cross-disciplinary
foundation for this process, but are not well-integrated with specialized engineering
information, leading to redundant and inconsistent system specifications. The software
provided here translates system models in the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) to
physical interaction and signal flow (also known as lumped-parameter, one-dimensional,
or network) models on two simulation platforms used in many engineering domains.
