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 …

In January we launched GENESYS 4.0. We’ve been a long time developing this release and that means a wealth of new capabilities. It also means there’s a lot to learn. We know you’ll have lots of questions and we’re ready with the answers. The extended development cycle means that we’ve …

Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) seeks to reduce rework and errors through the use of a central model that is accessible to all those involved in the engineering process. In traditional document-centric systems engineering, documents are the repository of information. The use of information requires the movement of information between documents, …

Systems engineering is fundamentally about seeing the big picture – leveraging multiple viewpoints and bringing together a diverse team to explore the problem from many perspectives, elicit diverse insights, understand the true problem, and deliver the right solution to meet the customer’s needs. Systems engineering is technical and communication. Systems …
