In Part 4 of this blog series, we demonstrated the use of graph analysis with Gremlin for analyzing the digital thread. This probably raised several questions in the reader’s mind. How do we automate these queries so we don’t need to manually enter each one? How can we perform additional analysis on the results with

In the first three parts of this blog series, I discussed the connections between Data Science and Digital Engineering through the idea of a Digital Thread. In this and the following post, I will show some examples from Syndeia, the digital thread platform from Intercax, that illustrate these ideas, beginning with the application of graph

The data model Syndeia uses for the Digital Thread is a graph, a collection of vertices and edges, each of which can have a name, type and properties (edges can also have a direction). In our case, we have all of those. Referring back to Figure 1, Part 1, the reader can see why this

In the first post in this series, we considered the relationship between Data Science and the Digital Thread. In this post, we will discuss what need to put these ideas into practice. First, obviously, is data. We want all the data about the system and a way to get to it. For that, I’m going

In the past year, Data Science has been getting a lot of play in the Systems Engineering world. Digital Transformation offers an enormous opportunity in the development of complex systems, but only if we can handle the enormous datasets that accompany real-world projects. My objective in this blog series is to demonstrate some practical approaches

Despite a year of serious challenges in the world, Intercax made great strides in 2021. We have been realizing our vision that Syndeia should be about more than tool integration and interoperability; it should be a Digital Thread Platform, a user gateway into the entire system of federated models. We have also been successful as

As part of building a standard Digital Thread platform, Intercax has accompanied each new feature of Syndeia with new tutorials and video demonstrations. As the number of individual training elements approaches 200, we have been reorganizing our training program to help users achieve good operating performance with minimum time and labor. With this objective, we

We have posted a new 6-minute video, “Syndeia: Digital Thread Platform for Model-Based Engineering”, to our home page. While primarily intended for newcomers to Syndeia, it may also help those already familiar with the platform to appreciate how the thinking behind it has changed. First, we are calling Syndeia a “Digital Thread Platform”. While interoperability,

A practical Digital Thread capability has two aspects, to build and maintain the network of connections that define a system and to analyze and document that network to provide the project team members with the information they need. In this blog series, we will focus on that second aspect. Syndeia, the MBSE integration platform from
