Part 7: Interoperability, Integration, Configuration, Systems EngineeringInternational audienceModeling today’s products means modeling interdisciplinary ‘product systems’ integrating various authoring systems with the technical-administrative product structure and the related processes. Achieving sustainability of the stated product systems, yields new artifacts, expanding the area to be considered and impedes traceability. This paper introduces System Lifecycle Management as key concept. Along with an approach based on methods of Model Based Systems Engineering the outlined problems are solved on an exemplary sustainable development process. The paper defines a framework for modeling the product system in the early development phases, which accompanies system design considering sustainability aspects in a prospective view. To demonstrate the proposed method, the paper focuses on expanding existing modeling constructs by relevant behavior elements capturing semantic links and information. First analyses and capabilities of the approach are presented in a case study of a wheeled excavator
By talking about complex systems, systems engineering is always named as the only way out for the enhancement of system understanding and the reduction of system complexity in the design process. After an identification of the essential aspects and concepts for pursuing systems engineering, this paper shows how well these key factors are integrated in today's methodologies for developing mechatronic and cybertronic systems. The content of this paper is based especially on current and previous research activities on the field of modelbased development at the Institute of Virtual Product Engineering.
With today's increased level of product complexity concerning the development of so-called cybertronic or cyber-physical systems, a rethinking of current design methodologies, processes, and IT solutions is required. After a short introduction of relevant work in the field of cybertronic systems design, this paper proposes a novel design methodology based on the MVPE Model and the newly introduced Kaiserslautern System Concretization Model for the model-based development in the context of Engineering 4.0.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
