“…Modelling is also linked with the implementation of MBSE, which can be combined with the design structure matrix (DSM) to "support system architecture elaboration" . The combination of MBSE with system modelling supported by SysML language has been discussed by various authors Cao et al 2011;Chami and Bruel 2015;Fan et al 2016;Yuan et al 2016). Cao et al state that "MBSE is the mainstream method for complex system design" as well as the fact that "MBSE facilitates dependency tracing between different models and the reuse of knowledge" (Cao et al 2011).…”

The fourth industrial revolution is shaping a new industrial landscape. A variety of technologies related to software, information and communication technologies embody a ubiquitous digital and connectivity era. These technologies enable the creation of new products with the integration of connectivity, data collection and processing capacities which require combining engineering disciplines. Increasing product multidisciplinarity compels companies to adapt their product development practices. The scientific literature offers a variety of concepts and techniques to support multidisciplinary product development. This paper seeks to organize the landscape of concepts and techniques available for multidisciplinary product development. An extensive literature review was conducted, and 236 concepts and techniques were identified. Multidisciplinary products of interest deal with both software and hardware development and can be encountered through the denominations of cyber-physical systems, mechatronics and smart products and systems. An in-depth analysis led to the classification and mapping, for each product denomination, of the concepts and techniques available to support their development. The classification relies on a four-level model paired with a decision tree to thoroughly sort the variety of concepts and techniques into the approach, process, method, and tool levels. The mapping between the sorted concepts and techniques enabled the generation of graphical representations called cartographies. These cartographies serve to support companies’ transformation towards the fourth industrial revolution from the product development perspective by giving a general overview of the related literature, and guiding them in the identification of the most suitable approaches, processes, methods and tools.

“…The ability to integrate different domain models, particularly in a complex multidisciplinary system, such that a unified design environment can be obtained, is one of the most essential enablers in a successful roll-out of MBSE, a typical example being the integration between Systems Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Fan et al (Fan, et al, 2016) proposed the use of SysML models that specified certain structural requirements to support preliminary generations of CAD models. Extending to a more varied multidisciplinary system, Nicolich et al (Nicolich & Cassio, 2014) developed the SOMO collaborative and distributed execution framework where different component simulations are integrated to form a system model.…”

Systems Engineering and, in the recent decade, Model‐based Systems Engineering have been widely adopted in the realisation of numerous complex products. The intrinsic multi‐level and multidisciplinary nature of a complex system poses major challenges during the design stage particularly in the communication between stakeholders of the system who often speak different languages and assume different perspectives, for instance, product owners, architects, engineers and domain experts. An integral collaboration environment between domains and across levels is thus key to achieving efficient and high quality designs. This paper presents a holistic, inclusive and interactive design approach to integrate the communication between stakeholders in the design of complex and multidisciplinary systems. Holistic thinking is a fundamental practice in Systems Engineering that ensures the alignment of domain objectives with overall system objectives as the product matures. However, effective deployment of this approach is often hindered by the communication gap between system stakeholders. In this paper, we propose a simplified Systems Engineering framework as the basis to model the system using Object Process Methodology (Dori, 2002). The use of various interactive exploration methods and data visualisation techniques can facilitate an efficient collaborative design that promotes holistic thinking. The proposed approach targets the conceptual design phase, and incorporates valuable design insights that are usually only revealed in the later stages of design as the system is relatively more mature. This allows for the iteration cycle times during the conceptual design phase to be significantly shortened, well‐informed design decisions to be made resulting in a more accurate direction of resources to perform detailed engineering analyses and subsequent design optimisations.

“…Unified Modeling Language (UML) in software engineering is a wellknown language as well as SysML. Modeling approaches using UML or SysML to bridge the integration gap between inconsistent models are proposed in [11][12][13]. These papers provide solutions for multi-model modeling based on modeling language.…”

The industrial cyber-physical production system contains a variety of heterogeneous devices and models, which increase the complexity of system design, particularly in software programming. Although the proposed model-driven engineering (MDE) is applied to industrial automation for this issue, the inherent complex dependencies and constraints between models and the availability of suitable tools for code generation limit the application of the model-driven approach in practice, especially as the system becomes more enormous. The component-based design (CBD) approach, which is a bottom-up approach, in contrast to the MDE that is top-down, is proposed to manage the complexity of software aspect based on the idea that building a system from existing components instead of the scratch. However, CBD can't provide the whole system model, so other ways should be adopted to design the system structure in advance. This paper presents an integrated design approach based on the combination of CBD and MDE to realize auto-design for cyberphysical production systems.
