Beginner's Guide to MBSE

Taking a systems approach helps to deal with the increasing complexity of our products and capabilities, and the environments in which they are operated. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) can be effective in design for today’s world, and aid in managing and communicating technical information.

Most organisations will have touched on MBSE, but the transformation is far from complete. To be successful, teams need to first understand the foundational concepts. Some myths and misconceptions exist around evaluating and deploying MBSE:

• “This will just add another software tool”

• “Modelling and simulation is too complex for our project”

• “Our client expects us to deliver only documents”

• “I’m creating all of the diagrams, so we're already doing this”
