3. Objectives Creating a seamless integration of MBSE and detail design and visualization tools to –Manage complexity –Help engineers to make informed decisions –Execute engineering models –Understand potential impacts of changing design parameters

4. Extending Capabilities Systems Design Process Stakeholder data Systems Engineering Information Provide detailed design & analysis capabilities Enhances decision making Design & Analysis tools

5. Proposed Solution Virtual Engineering –A means for creating a representation of physical system in a computer generated virtual environment –Gives designers the ability to interrogate a system and observe how it reacts to design changes –Provides an accessible visual format to present information in a manner that is of value to all the stakeholders

6. Virtual Systems Modeling Approach

7. Model Structure Analogy

8. Modeling Methodology Profile is a mechanism to extend capabilities of modeling languages to suit domain requirements

9. Modeling Methodology Simulation block VE-UI Design parameters and time constraints Constraint block VE-Unit Parametric equations System Structure VE-GP CAD model References MBSE Tool The model organization created in the MBSE tool allows the code to be readily available for compilation to create the Plugins for VE-Suite.

10. Example SubSystem Model Fermentor: Used in the bio-processing industry for producing compounds such as citric acid and ethanol Layout of the Fermentor model

11. Model development in SysML Value properties that depict the quantifiable characteristics of the blocks. These quantities also represent the input and output parameters considered in the experiment.

12. Defining Constraints for Analysis Constraints used for calculating the citric acid concentration defined using SysML construct

13. Analysis Model in SysML Part properties defining the actual system model and the simulation model comprised of experiment specific information

14. Parametric Model Parametric diagram relating structural and simulation properties

15. Adding VE Models Three main VE-Suite Components for fermentor in MBSE environment: –FermentorUI –FermentorUnit –FermentorGP Each VE-Suite module in the MBSE environment is composed of operations specific to the Plugin it has to create

16. Using CAD models Architecture of Computer Aided Design (CAD) models is used to represent the system being developed Part properties of the fermentor system model are referenced with individual CAD files that represent their structure Done using an UML operation to read data from the CAD file using OSG function

17. Fermentor Analysis Model

19. Future Work Current effort uses Artisan software as interface Virtual Forward Operating Base Camp project: –XMI method has been developed, visual aspects are being constructed –Model Based Engineering representations

20. Modeling the Base Camp

21. Export of Base Camp Information Export as XMI Associated to Facility profile Associated to Block

22. Discussion Visualization adds a more natural interface for design and review SysML covers varying aspects of systems engineering activity by providing easy to use graphical constructs A complete model traceability can be maintained using relationship semantics
