Product Development
Model-Based Engineering (MBE) is the implementation phase of product development. The model artifacts and associated architecture must seamlessly transition to detailed design. The process must always preserve the connection between ADE and MBE. A disconnected model negatively impacts ROI.
Benefits of Model-Based Engineering
Design envelope. The model provides engineering with an implementation “design envelope,” providing freedom and guidance to the development team.
Eliminate errors. Verification events defined in the model assure the consistency between the design and implementation.
Traceability. The model history provides traceability eliminating the “how did we get here” experience.
Model-Based Engineering Fundamentals
-
Connecting to Detailed Design
-
The model provides a relationship approach to product definition that is not possible with documents. The more robust the product definition, the fewer design errors.
-
Model Relevancy
-
The model must be connected and utilized by the implementation and test teams. Model relevancy throughout the product life cycle is key to success.
-
Verification
-
As products become more complex, the risk of design intent and implementation divergence becomes more real. Verification events provide consistency checks throughout the product life cycle.
Transition to Detailed Design
The biggest challenge today for model-based design is transitioning to implementation or detailed design. The design envelope for each subsystem or component is directly transferred and exposed to the design teams for implementation. The model remains connected to the design process.
Connected Wire Harness Design
The GENESYS Connector provides a direct link between the model and E3.series for wire harness design. Model artifacts are directly transferred and exposed in E3.series creating a design envelope for the implementation team.
Connected 3D PCB Design
The GENESYS Connector will provide a direct link between the model and CR-8000. A PCB subsystem architecture model is transferred to CR-8000 while exposing other model artifacts. Upon architecture validation, the model enters a 3D multi-board PCB design process.
Design Verification Events
Verification gates or events are placed at critical design phase boundaries that include architecture, release to manufacturing, first article inspection, and subsystem test. Each gate contains verification requirements for evaluation and the model updated with a status. These gates ensure that the implementation is consistent with the model.
Features and Benefits
Model-Based Engineering supports Digital Engineering methods. MBE utilizes a model-based approach as opposed to a document-based. The product model is used to drive wire harness and PCB detailed design.
The product model is constructed in GENESYS using system engineering methods. The product model or system context includes the product ecosystem. An example of the product ecosystem is the operating environment.
Model-Based Engineering supports a connected model design process. A model created in GENESYS is used to pass a design envelope to the development team for wire harness design and PCB design.
Model-Based Engineering provides product model access to diagrams, requirements, and parameters for viewing by the design team. The design team can access a particular component or subsystem.
Using the GENESYS Connector the component or subsystem architecture is directly transferred to E3.series for wire harness design. The design envelope is accessible providing diagrams, requirements, and parameters.
Using E3.series for wire harness design and CR-8000 for PCB provides 3D capabilities that are necessary for today’s complex designs.
GENESYS provides the ability to create verification events composed of verification requirements. Each verification event provides a design process checkpoint to assure model consistency with implementation. An example of a verification gate would be a design review prior to manufacturing.
Smart manufacturing and digital engineering are equal partners in digital transformation. Smart manufacturing depends on data that is gathered by IIOT and analyzed using big data. Providing the manufacturing floor with design data ready for machine consumption is an important output of MBE.
