Integrating MBSE with Electronic or Electrical Design
Dynamically Connecting Engineering
Menu
Integrating GENESYS into the detailed design stages of electrical and electronic design projects strategically leverages the principles of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to enhance design coherence, collaboration, and adaptability throughout the project lifecycle. GENESYS can be integrated to ensure seamless and dynamic interactions between system requirements and engineering changes.
Dynamic Requirements Management
GENESYS excels in capturing, managing, and dynamically linking system requirements from various stakeholders to specific design elements. This dynamic link ensures real-time updates and traceability across the system’s development, allowing changes in requirements to automatically reflect in the design tasks, thereby maintaining consistency and compliance throughout the development process.
System Architecture Development
Utilizing GENESYS, system engineers develop an initial system architecture model that defines major components and interfaces for electrical and electronic systems. This model serves not only as a blueprint for detailed design but also as a flexible framework that can adapt to evolving requirements and ensure that all team members share a unified vision of the system structure.
Seamless Detailed Design Integration
Model-Based Design (MBD) Tools Integration
GENESYS seamlessly integrates with electrical (E3.series) and electronic (CR-8000) design tools. This integration imports system constraints and parameters directly into the design tools, ensuring that detailed designs consistently adhere to updated system architectures and requirements. Any changes or updates in the system model are automatically synchronized with the detailed design tools, reducing manual rework and ensuring design integrity.
Simulation and Validation
By integrating with simulation tools, GENESYS verifies that designs meet all operational, performance, and compliance criteria at every stage. Engineers can iteratively adjust and optimize their designs in response to simulation outcomes, which are in turn informed by the evolving system model in GENESYS.
Verification and Validation
Integrated Test Management
GENESYS facilitates the definition of verification and validation criteria directly linked to the dynamically updated system requirements. This ensures comprehensive testing of all electrical and electronic design aspects against the latest system specifications, enhancing the final product’s reliability and performance.
Feedback Incorporation
Discrepancies or design changes identified during testing phases are directly fed back into GENESYS, updating the system model and subsequently all linked designs and documentation. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures ongoing alignment between the engineering activities and system requirements.
Data Management and Collaborative Engineering
Centralized Data Repository
Acting as a single source of truth, GENESYS centralizes all system and design data, crucial for multidisciplinary teams. This centralization supports real-time data access and updates, minimizing conflicts and ensuring all stakeholders work with the most current data.
Collaborative Platform for Dynamic Updates
GENESYS promotes enhanced communication and collaboration across disciplines by providing a platform that updates both system-level views and detailed designs in real time. This facilitates seamless integration of ongoing changes across various engineering domains.
Compliance and Automated Documentation
Dynamic Standard Compliance
GENESYS ensures that designs comply with relevant industry standards by incorporating these standards into the ongoing project model. Any changes in standards or requirements are dynamically integrated into the design process.
Automated, Updated Documentation
GENESYS generates and updates documentation automatically from the system model, including design descriptions, test results, and compliance reports, reflecting the latest project status and changes.
By integrating GENESYS at the core of electrical and electronic design projects, organizations can fully exploit MBSE capabilities, leading to designs that are not only efficient and timely but also highly adaptable to changes in requirements and market conditions. This approach supports a holistic and agile development process, from concept through detailed design, verification, and final product realization.
