During product development, engineers are called on to provide a design solution to a particular problem. We are also asked to document the journey along the way for the purpose of being able to retrace our steps when issues arise. I once had an engineer tell me that it was …

Requirements management is made easier when model-based systems engineering is based on a systems metamodel. An MBSE tool with a systems metamodel behind it is thoroughly integrated, allowing us to be more rigorous and deliberate in our systems engineering efforts. Last month, I discussed the process of refining requirements using …

Requirements management in GENESYS differs from approaches used by other systems engineering tools, modeling or architecture tools, and databases. In keeping with academic and INCOSE processes, GENESYS leverages the full power of MBSE for requirements management using its systems metamodel as a guide. (See: What is the Difference Between a …

Every sprinter knows the importance of the first steps out of the blocks. The start is absolutely critical to their success in the race. No sprinter would hamper his start by trading his speedy, lightweight running spikes for a pair of heavy construction boots. And yet, systems engineers quite often …
