MBSE for Integrated Modeling, 1D Simulation, Embedded Systems & Traceability

This hands-on workshop is designed to guide participants through the process of integrating modeling and simulation tools to design, simulate, and validate complex systems in a unified digital environment. By leveraging MBSE, attendees will learn to create comprehensive system models that support cross-discipline collaboration, from mechanical and electrical systems to software and data-driven processes.

$10.00 - $25.00

Participants will engage in practical exercises that demonstrate how to run simulations and analyze performance data in real-time, create traceability across their digital environments with impact analysis enabling them to make informed decisions throughout the system lifecycle. The session will highlight key features, such as continuous integration, seamless data sharing, and iterative testing, which can enhance efficiency and innovation in complex engineering projects. Ideal for systems engineers, modelers, and simulation experts, this workshop equips professionals with the knowledge and tools to optimize engineering workflows and drive successful project outcomes.



The workshop is appropriate for both experienced MBSE modelers and those new to MBSE. Prior to the workshop, attendees will be provided a link to download 90-day trial versions of the tools needed and will use those tools to develop their own models and simulations during the workshop. We will also provide installation instructions, videos and 2 Zoom sessions to help facilitate the software and license installations. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptops so you are able to utilize the free trial software after the event. However, if you need hardware, there is a check-box on the registration page to let us know and we’ll facilitate the option of using supplied laptops.


NOTE: Coffee, tea, etc., will be provided in the morning and lunch during the working session.
