Introducing Containment: An Alternate Way to Organize Systems Models in GENESYS

In the world of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), clarity and structure are everything. As models become more complex in size and scope, engineers need better ways to organize, navigate, and collaborate effectively.  This need inspired Vitech to introduce a Containment organizational structure option in GENESYS. Introduced in GENESYS 2025, Containment brings a new level of intuitive organization to systems modeling, aligning with …

Implementing STRATA MBSE: An Introductory Guide to Layered Systems Engineering

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a powerful approach to managing complex system development, and STRATA MBSE methodology provides a structured framework for ensuring consistency, completeness, and correctness. But how does STRATA work in practice? In this blog, we’ll explore how to implement STRATA effectively, focusing on layered decomposition, cross-pillar alignment, …

Unleashing the Power of Model-Based V&V: How Your System Model Becomes a Roadmap to Your Verification Activities

This blog post provides a comprehensive overview of the insights I shared in a webinar I gave: Unleashing the Power of Model-Based V&V: How your System Model Becomes a Roadmap to Your Verification Activities. In the webinar, I highlighted the significance of model-based verification and offered practical guidance for its …

Automating Organization – The Code!

Welcome back! In the last post, I walked you through creating a custom button in GENESYS that moved an entity from its current folder into a new folder named after that entity and moved any descendant entities along with it. This little helper function can make organizing your model organization …
