AbstractModel based systems engineering is often used as an alternative to the document based design of software or other technical systems. Its focus lies on the modelling of procedural aspects of the products, rather than on physical aspects. In mechanical engineering, the geometry and the physical properties of the product like strength, stiffness, kinematic and kinetic behaviour are described by CAD-systems. This paper tries to link model based systems engineering tools with modern CAD tools to facilitate the digitization of the development processes of physical products as part of the digitization of new digital business models.

The machinery and plant engineering sector is faced with new challenges due to the shift to intelligent technical systems and the need to integrate intelligence into machines. In addition, machinery and plant engineering means customized orders which result in engineering-to-order products and a different development process comparing to serial production. The present contribution shows the potential of model-based systems engineering during the whole developments process from the acquisition to distribution and start-up.

Abstract In this paper, we define Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) as a set of different approaches which vary in scope and in purpose, as opposed to defining it as a monolithic concept. To do so, we inductively extract common themes from papers proposing new MBSE methods based on the type of Systems Engineering (SE) artifacts produced and the expected benefits of MBSE implementation. These themes are then validated against the experiences depicted in a second set of papers evaluating the deployment of MBSE methods in practice. We propose a taxonomy for MBSE which identifies three main categories: system specification repositories, system execution models, and design automation models. The proposed categories map well onto common discussions of the nature of the SE activity, in that the first is employed in the management of system development processes and the second in the understanding of system performance and emergent properties. The third category is almost exclusively discussed in an academic context and is therefore more difficult to relate to SE practice, but its features are clearly distinct from the other two. The proposed taxonomy clarifies what MBSE is and what it can be, therefore helping focus research on the issues that still prevent MBSE practice from living up to expectations.

Inhalt Unscharfe Anforderungen, verschiedene Lösungs-alternativen oder eingeschränkt gültige Simulationsmodelle sind Beispiele für inhärente Unsicherheit in der Produktentwicklung. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird ein modellbasierter Ansatz vorgestellt, der das industriell etablierte Denken in Sicherheitsfaktoren um qualitative Aspekte ergänzt. Modelle der Informationsqualität helfen, die Unsicherheit von Ent- wicklungsartefakten beschreibend zu charakterisieren. Mittels semantischer Technologien wird Unsicherheit so wirklich handhabbar – nicht im Sinne einer Berechnung, sondern im Sinne einer qualitativen Interpretation. Dadurch entsteht wertvolles Wissen für die iterative Anforderungsanalyse, die Bewertung alternativer System-Architekturen oder für die Rekonfiguration von Simulationen.

Today, vehicle development is already in a process of substantial transformation. Mobility trends can be derived from global megatrends and have a significant influence on the requirements of the developed vehicles. The sociological, technological, economic, ecological, and political developments can be determined by using the scenario technique. The results are recorded in the form of differently shaped scenarios; however, they are mainly document-based. In order to ensure a holistic approach in the sense of model-based systems engineering and to be able to trace the interrelationships of the fast-changing trends and requirements, it is necessary to implement future scenarios in the system model. For this purpose, a method is proposed that enables the consideration of future scenarios in model-based vehicle development. The procedure of the method is presented, and the location of the future scenarios within the system architectures is named. The method is applied and the resulting system views are derived based on the application example of an autonomous people mover. With the help of the described method, it is possible to show the effects of a change of scenario (e.g., best-case and worst-case) and the connections with the highest level of requirements: stakeholder needs.

AbstractModel-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.
