The future of modeling: Interview with Andreas Willert (Part 2)
In this interview, Andreas Willert reports on how modeling drastically shortened the certification of a fire protection system.
The future of modeling: Interview with Andreas Willert (Part 1)
In the interview, Andreas Willert reports that MBSE is booming, complexity is a problem and UML has failed in software modeling.
The Agile Modeling Manifesto: Is the time ripe?
The subject of the email from LieberLieber piqued my curiosity: "A Manifesto for Agile Modeling". In the following, I examine what this is all about.
What are the benefits of SysML v2? Interview with Uwe Kaufmann
Anyone involved in systems engineering, MBSE and SysML in Germany is sure to have come across Uwe Kaufmann (➜LinkedIn). Uwe is actively involved in the Society for Systems Engineering (GfSE). In particular, he heads the PLM4MBSE working group and the "SysML Industrialization" project group. Today's interview is about SysML v2, which has already been...
Simulation - not just for control and regulation
The potential of simulation in systems engineering is far from exhausted.
The use case: modeling behavior
Use cases are among the best-known types of modeling There is a good reason for this: when we describe something, we are particularly interested in its behavior. And use cases allow us to do this. It's easy to specify successfully with use cases in a short time if a few basic concepts are internalized and a few rules are followed. Therefore...
SysML 2.0: Which manufacturer is working on tools?
SysML 2.0 will be released soon, and there are major changes and improvements. The two that I see the most are the following: First, SysML 2.0 will no longer be defined as a profile, but as a standalone model. Secondly, there will be an API to interact with the model. But for most users, the most important...
Is SysML too complicated? And if so, what is the alternative?
When it comes to modeling languages, people's reactions are often extreme: there are people for whom models are far too complicated; then there are those who like to work with diagrams and perceive them as the model; and those who understand modeling languages in depth and build correspondingly complex models that, while impressive, are of little use....
Why non-functional requirements are becoming increasingly important
If a system does not fulfill its function, we have a serious problem: what would a music player be that does not play music? But there are also many requirements that have nothing directly to do with the function of the system. And these are becoming increasingly important.
Modeling behavior correctly
Systems are dynamic. Vehicles move, traffic lights change color. Describing dynamic behavior correctly is one of the challenges in systems engineering. This happens on many levels, right down to the smallest implementation detail, be it in the form of rotating gears or software functions.
How Changan is transforming product development with MBSE
Back in 2018, Changan presented impressive results that were achieved in the automotive sector through the introduction of MBSE.
Review: The systems.camp North 2018
The systems.camp is now an established GfSE event in Germany and takes place three times a year in different regions in Germany. Last Saturday, systems.camp Nord took place in Hamburg, the last systems.camp of the year. Below is an overview of the event and what we learned from it.
