By Ron Kratzke, Principal Systems Engineer GENESYS 4.0 introduced two new diagrams – the Constraint Block Definition Diagram (BDD) and Parametric diagram. The addition of these two diagrams opens and expands insight into system design.  The Constraint BDD graphically displays the parameters restricting or constraining system design.  The Parametric diagram …

Should I transition to GENESYS?  That’s a question I am sure a lot of system engineering managers using CORE are asking themselves.  It’s not an easy question to answer and I suggest you need to look at more than the individual tool capabilities. As a team manager, consider the organizational …

Lately I have been assisting a number of customers in developing formal documentation directly from the engineering design repository in CORE™. Use of the Formal Documentation features in CORE is topic of particular interest to users during delivery of the training class. Over my next several blog posts, I will …

In one of my recent training classes I was asked to define what the term “architecture” means in the practice of system engineering.  While I think I solve the immediate concern of the class, I did not give a very precise answer.  This week I did a bit of research …
