MBSE and GENESYS alone cannot help you make the right design decision in a trade study.  But the descriptive architecture in GENESYS can surely point the detailed designs in the right direction. In Part One of this trade study discussion, we established some parameters for the motorcycle components to be …

Trade study – a game everybody wants to play, but few know the rules.  In the engineering world, “trade study” seems to be the epitome of systems engineering success.  But in real-life Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices, what is a practical application of a tool like GENESYS for a trade …

In modeling a behavior, we often need to represent a selection logic controlled by a set of stimuli.  How we do it correctly and sufficiently lies within how well we understand the Executable Constructs. Let us take a look at the behavior of automobile traffic at an intersection controlled by …

Telling the Story There are many ways to start a behavioral-model presentation.  Somewhat unconventional is showing the working simulation first, even before the EFFBDs themselves.  This follows the concept of the Golden Circle. The WHY: The behavioral logic makes the simulation work, it shows the interactions between your Vehicle Management …
