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 …

From Theory to Practice: Applying STRATA to a Real-World System

Last month, we explored Vitech’s CSDL, providing an overview of the modeling language and a hypothetical pathway for constructing a system. We reinforced these concepts with a real-world example, though limited to a few levels of decomposition.  Over the past two weeks, we shifted focus to Vitech’s STRATA methodology, demonstrating how it ensures …

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, …

Introduction to STRATA: A Layering Methodology in Model-based Systems Engineering

In the evolving landscape of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), practitioners often face the challenge of maintaining clarity and coherence across increasingly complex system models. As systems grow in scale and sophistication, a structured, methodical approach becomes essential to manage abstraction, decomposition, and integration effectively in a way that maintains definitional …
