One of the principal benefits of a digital thread platform such as Syndeia is that it gives project leaders a holistic real-time view of the entire modeling effort. By combining Syndeia data requests with data science analytics, users can monitor and document progress quantitatively. In Part 4 of this series, we review a new Jupyter

A key benefit of the Syndeia digital thread platform is that it enables the user to retrieve data from all the federated repositories through a single interface, the Syndeia Cloud REST API. Several of the Jupyter notebooks released in the API Cookbook with Syndeia 3.5 will each focus on a specific repository type. This post

As Intercax prepares to roll out Syndeia release 3.5, we’re giving our blog followers an advance look at upcoming new features. Part 1 covered Vitech GENESYS, using the Generic RESTful API integration. Part 2 demonstrated the new integration for SmartBear Collaborator. In this part, we describe Syndeia’s new integration for ESTECO VOLTA. The accompanying video

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

I recently had a thought-provoking discussion with a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) expert about Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).  While I was prepared to show Syndeia’s features for connecting SysML models with NX or Creo, his concerns were more fundamental.  First, he pointed out that our examples in the introductory videos were “trivial” and not how people

In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we focused entirely on possible visualizations of inter-model connections, i.e. connections created by Syndeia between elements in different tools. But many use-cases require us to trace connections across the system model where the sequences include both inter-model and intra-model connections. Syndeia 3.0 can show many of these,

Introduction Every system development project has both product-specific and project-specific considerations: Product-specific includes product requirements (market, technical, regulatory), product function and hardware and software design Project-specific includes organization structure, project requirements, and product development methodology The intersection of these two domains is often the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) which captures the product-specific tasks in the

As a project moves from architecture definition to component design, new software tools, such as mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD), become part of the engineering process. The impact of component design decisions needs to be continuously evaluated at the system level. The Syndeia interface for PTC Creo supports a number of use cases from either MagicDraw
