“…Civil aircraft development is a complex system engineering problem, including the identification and capture of stakeholders and system requirements, establishing functional structure of aircraft systems and the derivation of functional analysis (Anderson 2009;Mordecai et al 2018;Zhang et al 2018). The entire research and development (R&D) process involves various stakeholders, professional tools in different subjects, constraints between different system functions, as well as interactions between hardware and software.…”

“…With the wide spread recognition of MBSE theory in the development of civil aircraft, related methods and tools are urgently needed to apply this modern theory into civil aircraft development process (Andersson 2009;Anwar et al 2017;Dickerson and Mayris 2013;Mordecai et al 2018;Zhang et al 2018). The purpose of designing the civil aircraft MBSE integration platform is to achieve standardized management of all processes in the whole life cycle of the civil aircraft through modeling and digitization.…”

With the continuous development and application of modeling technology, civil aircraft designers urgently need to apply model-based systems engineering (MBSE) theory and methods into the field of civil aircraft development. However, the existing modeling tools, which combined with MBSE methodologies, only focus on one particular area, such as requirement modeling, functional modeling and design synthesis. This kind of low coupling design system makes it difficult to link the upstream and downstream designers in the early stage of system development. This paper introduces the MBSE development process of civil aircraft and then establishes an integrated platform composed of six work stations for civil aircraft development based on this process. Commercially available modeling tools, such as IBM Rational DOORS and enterprise architect (EA), are conducted in the platform. The development of flight control system is taken as an example to test the feasibility and efficiency of our integrated platform in logic layer. This platform can complete the activities of aircraft life cycle function analysis, requirement and model management. The loose coupling between the modules and the high cohesive nature allows different system engineers to maintain their design independence and consistency at different stages of development.

“…Model-based system engineering (MBSE) accomplishes the development of complex products with a new mode and is capable of forecasting product behaviors, thereby improving the productivity of the product development process. Arguably, the developments of aviation and space systems, which are regarded as the most complex cyber-physical systems (CPSs) in the industry [2], have adopted the MBSE approach to facilitate the implementation of all the phases of the product lifecycle [3][4][5][6][7][8]. e widespread use of MBSE has tended to shift emphasis from data management to model management throughout the entire product's lifecycle [9].…”

In model-based system engineering (MBSE), reuse of existing models in the development of a new system can be advantageous. Automatic assignment of existing models to each design task within a design task set has been proven to be feasible. However, while several studies have discussed the significance of models in MBSE and methodologies for models reuse, solving the model reusability problem through a model assignment method has not been discussed. Additionally, a significant challenge in model assignment is to address the conflict between the maximization of the model value summations, which are yielded by assigning the models to a design task set, and the minimization of the execution cycle of the task set. This study (a) proposes a design-task-oriented model assignment method that establishes a multiobjective model, based on a model assignment integration framework, and (b) designs a differential-evolution-combined adaptive nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II to provide an optimal tradeoff between maximizing the total model values and minimizing the execution cycle of the task set. By comparing the performance of the algorithm in resolving the assignment of models to a design task set with those of two conventional algorithms in a phased-array radar development project, the algorithm’s performance and promotion of system development are verified to be superior. The new method can be applied for developing model scheduling software for MBSE-compliant product development projects to improve using effects of the models and development cycle.
