In our previous posts in this series, we began the construction of a Digital Thread for integrated model-based mission engineering with our UAF model of IED removal. The power of this approach becomes even more evident as we bring in relations to other models in our SysML, requirements and issue tracking tools. We begin with
The UAF model, implemented here in Cameo Enterprise Architect, provides several standardized views of the mission architecture (Figure 1), starting with Strategic Structure, dropping down to Operational Structure, and finally dropping down to Services Processes. All these relationships fall within the Cameo tool, but extending our Digital Thread to a wider range of tools requires
Consider how we can take some of the tools being developed for model-based systems engineering and ask how they could apply at the mission or enterprise architecture level. Let’s start with the idea of Digital Thread. From a conceptual perspective, it is a complete specification of a system, or mission, created from all the specialized
Intercax is ready to provide short-term evaluation licenses at no cost to organizations looking to apply Digital Transformation to their engineering development. A simple series of steps can make this smooth and successful. Be prepared to provide your full name, organizational affiliation and organizational email. We won’t share it with third parties. We just like
With a product as multi-featured and rapidly evolving as Syndeia, the integrated MBE/MBSE platform from Intercax, there are always a lot of questions from potential users. On the Intercax website, we have a set of Frequently Asked Questions with our best answers to address this. The questions fall into several categories: About the product itself
Everyone’s talking about Digital Transformation, but what exactly are the deliverables? At Intercax, we see many ways that the Digital Thread created by Syndeia can deliver for organizations doing complex development. Figure 1 Syndeia Deliverables for the System Development Team Sharing Information & Model Transform Selective sharing of both data and models between disciplines and
Intercax has made its entire Syndeia documentation package available online in Confluence, not only for license holders, but for anyone who wants to learn more about Syndeia and how it can build the Digital Thread. With the release of version 3.3 on July 30, it has been extensively revised, with over 80% new and updated
Describing Syndeia from Intercax quickly and clearly becomes more challenging with each new release. It is both an extensive set of point-to-point integrations between engineering software tools and a means for analyzing, visualizing and documenting all the connections between them, the Digital Thread. In a new video, we offer a whirlwind introduction to Syndeia as
Syndeia 3.3, released 7/31/20, extends capabilities in three important areas: Syndeia Cloud Web Interface New Tool Interfaces User-Defined Mappings with Relationships In a new video, we offer a quick introduction to these new features. Syndeia Cloud has transitioned to a robust micro-services-based enterprise architecture that supports more of Syndeia’s functionality, including the connection database and
In Part 1 of this series, we discussed applying some of the techniques of DevOps to the practice of MBSE and the particular importance of this during times of remote telework and social distancing when the usual formal and informal meetings are not occurring. In a distributed and asynchronous development environment, we need an ability
