When teaching classes on model-based systems engineering, I am frequently asked about methods to manage different system configurations in the model. Most engineers are very comfortable thinking in part structures, and while this is a critical aspect of systems engineering, it’s not the whole story. To answer the question and …

As groups look to the broader potential of model-based systems engineering (MBSE), supporting test and evaluation in a MBSE environment – and model-based T&E – has become a subject of interest. This has been the subject of recent presentations at various venues including the 2016 Systems Engineering Test and Evaluation …

In the past couple of weeks I have assisted several customers exploring and using the Resource class in the development and analysis of program plans. The basic question posed to me was this: How can I manage and set the use of resources without looking at each individual program activity’s …

When doing a system design we are often asked to design the system such that the system meets multiple standards.  Many times the desired standards overlap or are specific to more than one commercial segment.  For example, we may have to meet a set of government standards for one market …
