Using Model-Based Systems Engineering for Need-Based and Consistent Support of the Design Process

Abstract

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is an efficient approach to support product development in order to meet today's challenges. The MBSE approach includes methods and, above all, modelling approaches of the technical system with the aim of continuous use in development. The objective of this paper is to use the potential of the MBSE models and to show the added value of such models on the system level when used as a single source. With this objective, this paper presents a three-step approach to systematically identify and apply meaningful modelling approaches within MBSE, based on the needs during the development process. Furthermore, an FMEA example is included in this paper to elaborate the use of MBSE in the system failure analysis.

Integrating Model-Based Design of Mechatronic Systems with Domain-Specific Design Approaches

“…SysML is a semi-formal graphical modelling language to describe products on the mechatronic system level(s) as well as the system context. The SysML model can additionally facilitate analysis, verification and validation activities on the design (Husung et al, 2021;Hick et al, 2019). Seen in relation to the earlier, domain-specific approaches -especially the ones from mechanical engineering that were outlined above -MBSE provides a new way of systematically capturing requirements and functions, at the same time promising to link these to more concrete and detailed representations of the product being developed and to subsequent activities of the development process.…”

A Method for the Support of the Design for Digital Twin Solution and Its Application on a Gearbox System

“…Therefore, a comprehensive impact analysis is necessary for every change occurrence on the Real Twin. An essential prerequisite for the impact analysis is the existence of a system model that contains relevant functions, system components, their relationships and specific associated parameters (Husung et al, 2021). Further explanations of the analyses that had to be skipped here due to the scope of the article, can be found among others in (Kleiner et al, 2017;Biggs et al, 2019;Albers et al, 2003).…”

Potentials of integrating MBSE and LCA to handle uncertainties and variants in early design stages

“…Ausgehend von einer Literaturanalyse zeigen Henderson und Salado [18] auf, dass die wesentlichen Vorteile in der Verbesserung der Kommunikation und des Informationsaustausches, der Rückverfolgung und der Reduzierung der Entwicklungszeit zu sehen sind. Ausgewählte Methoden und Modelle aus des MBSE zur Unterstützung des Entwicklungsprozesses schlagen Husung et al [19] vor. Erste Ansätze zur Integration von Informationen für die Bewertung von Umweltwirkungen in ein SysML-Modell werden in [20] beschrieben.…”
