From Concepts to Reality
As urban infrastructure is set to grow significantly in the next few decades, the need for better understanding and integration of both natural and man-made systems becomes crucial for achieving energy and environmental sustainability. The ability to combine engineering models—such as those for power generation, water flow, and emissions—with economic models of energy demand and remediation costs is essential for a comprehensive and disciplined approach to societal challenges. Systems engineering plays a critical role in balancing technology, economics, and the environment, while also prioritizing resilience to both natural and human-made disruptions.
The integration of diverse models using digital thread technology enables comprehensive trade studies and optimization by exploring complex interactions across systems. This approach has been applied to watershed management, utility planning, and sustainable manufacturing. A key area of promise is urban infrastructure modeling, where a digital thread links transportation, energy, and waste management models with economic, social, and environmental impact models, providing quantitative planning tools for cities and local governments. In the energy sector, digital thread plays a vital role in designing and simulating Smart Grid systems and in deploying and integrating alternative energy sources.
In infrastructure projects, the ability to model the construction and operation of systems is as crucial as their design. By connecting project management tools with design and simulation platforms, Syndeia enhances communication and facilitates continuous review throughout the development process. Its powerful visualization and query capabilities provide comprehensive insights across the entire system model, helping identify vulnerabilities and unexpected behaviors early, ultimately improving system reliability and performance.

Modern engineering uses computer models and systems engineering (SE) is following this pattern. The basis of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is that the system can be captured in a single unified computer model, a single source of truth from which all required SE views and artifacts can be generated. Good MBSE practices can reduce errors and ambiguity, shorten development times, and improve collaboration between disciplines.
