Model-Based Systems Engineering with SysML v1
Description
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with SysML v1 is a course intended for practicing systems engineers who want to learn how to apply model-driven engineering practices using the Systems Modeling Language™ (SysML® v1.6).
The course begins with an overview of MBSE and SysML and continues with the first step in the method which is to understand the problem to correctly frame the solution. Students are then introduced to requirements and use cases and how to model them in SysML. Packages are discussed to represent different strategies for organizing SysML models.
The course introduces sequence diagrams to represent message exchanges. Allocations are discussed for mapping behaviors to structural elements. Students are shown how state machines are used to capture event-based behaviors. Block definition diagrams (BDD) are used to show the constituent parts of a system and internal block diagrams (IBD) are used to show the connections between those parts.
The course finishes with an introduction to activity models for representing functional behavior and then the usage of parametric diagrams to capture inter-related sets of formulas (as constraints).
