The phrase “Digital Thread” is ubiquitous in modern engineering, but newcomers may find it hard to find answers to What is the Digital Thread? Are there real commercially-available solutions? How will it benefit my organization? Enterprises have many software tools and databases and system data is distributed across them. At the same time, these organiztions

In our discussion of urban systems modeling using MBSE, we have demonstrated the value of model federation with respect to information sharing and collaboration. When a sufficient number of model elements have been connected, we can use the same platform to explore and navigate the Total System Model efficiently. The foundation for this is supported

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the importance of supporting collaboration. One aspect of this is providing access to project management information for all members of the team. We can use Syndeia to facilitate this by creating issues in JIRA connected to elements in the other software tools. The JIRA issues contain status,

Our objective at this stage is to complete the interconnection of urban system blocks in SysML and then to transform that SysML model to an equivalent model in a simulation tool, here Simulink (The MathWorks). The initial step in SysML is to create internal block diagrams (IBDs) showing the parts and their ports and to
