Intercax is always excited to work with organizations new to Digital Engineering. One such organization (whose identity we are not permitted to share) faced a challenge modernizing a workflow originally designed to build wooden toy trains to the production of modern video games. They wished to apply Digital Engineering to the integrated and concurrent development

Intercax is excited to announce the release of Syndeia 3.5 Service Pack 2 (3.5 SP2) with a broad range of enhancements and bug fixes. All Syndeia customers with an active annual subscription or M&S contract can get 3.5 SP2 by posting a request on the Intercax on-line help desk at www.intercax.com/help. One advantage of a

The last of the demo videos about using the Syndeia Web Dashboard Generic RESTful API capability uses Vitech GENESYS as an example of dynamic token authentication. Part 5 references the video Demo 29.6 – Integrating RESTful Repositories using Dynamic Token (OAuth) – GENESYS. This work comes from an ongoing collaboration with Zuken Vitech, creators of

Syndeia’s Generic RESTful API interface provides a powerful tool for adding new model repositories to a digital thread without customized coding by the vendor. With this post, we continue reviewing the RESTful API demo videos organized around each of five methods authenticating access to an external RESTful API-based repository: no authentication required, basic authentication and

The current blog series reviewing the RESTful API demo videos is organized around each of five methods authenticating access to an external RESTful API-based repository: no authentication required, basic authentication, and bearer, API key, and dynamic token-based authentication. It also provides an opportunity to show the ways in which five different RESTful repositories can be

There are thousands of model and data repositories that are potentially part of the digital engineering environment for organizations developing complex systems. No engineering software vendor has the resources to build and maintain integrations to even a sizeable fraction of these, especially since many are custom proprietary tools with only a small number of users.

We began this blog series with the idea, captured in the notional diagram in Figure 1, that there is a connection between project management metrics such as schedule, cost, and risk; the characteristics of the digital thread; and the specific queries that a digital thread platform might make. We looked at that connection in greater

The previous four sections of this blog series have dealt with the characteristics of the digital thread itself and the modeling process. Verification deals with characteristics of the real system that the digital thread models, primarily its performance against requirements. Assuming the results of physical testing, simulation, and analysis are captured within the digital thread,

The digital thread is dynamic. Many of the federated data repositories are configuration-managed, and it is critical for the inter-model connections to be version-sensitive. Consistency of a digital thread implies that the version of a connected data element is the same now as when the connections to it were created or most recently updated. If
