  • SysML provides a critical MBSE component for verification and mass adoption

    SysML provides a critical MBSE component for verification and mass adoption
    Nov 21 2022
    In the previous podcast episode, we discussed the tools that an engineer or system architects might use in their day-to-day operations, which is very familiar to MBSE for changes in the industry. Thus, SysML is one of the components of that methodology.  Nicholas Finberg of Siemens Global Marketing, and Tim Kinman, Vice President of Trending Solutions and Global Program Lead for Systems Digitalization at Siemens Digital Industries Software, discuss what is driving the adoption of MBSE. In the past, UML allowed modeling software elements to reuse functions from a software definition; however, it only met some of the needs of the broader system. Therefore, UML extensions were created as additional profiles, represented through SysML. However, this needs to be more comprehensive, so extensions made in the field, the tools, and even beyond the tools require the customers to extend SysML, leading to proprietary. Subsequently, exchanging information was very difficult. Consequently, OMG, as a standards group, came forward with an updated definition called SysML V2. Rather than being an outgrowth of UML, it is a fresh perspective that said, "What are the needs of systems engineering? How do we get a graphical representation and a textual representation that can be parsed, machine-readable, and has a textual semantic that guarantees that I can exchange across the toolchain without losing any level of detail." The value of what we see in SysML V2 is that it can become interoperability and an authoring language.   What You'll Learn in this Episode: How SysML is one of the components of Model-Based Systems Engineering The value of what we see in SysML V2 is becoming interoperability and an authoring language. The automation and machine readability for sustainability solutions and parsing of understanding is critical to getting more than data scientists onto the solution path.  The concept of early verification involves taking the prior product's digital twin and identifying innovation points related to new requirements. A multifaceted mass adoption of MBSE. Connect with Tim Kinman: LinkedIn Connect with Nicholas Finberg: LinkedIn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Apr 13 2022
    The automotive industry is undergoing a lot of changes necessitated by a shift in customers’ preferences as well the need to be eco-friendly. New customers are more interested in the experience they get than how fast the car goes from 0 to 60 or the type of suspensions installed. All this has introduced a lot of complexity because OEMs now have to essentially build computers on wheels. Today, the hosts are Nicholas Finberg of Siemens Global Marketing, and Tim Kinman, Vice President of Trending Solutions and Global Program Lead for Systems Digitalization at Siemens Digital Industries Software. They are joined by three guests from Siemens: Nand Kochhar, Matt Bromley, and Doug Burcicki. In this episode, you’ll learn about the current trends that are taking place in the automotive industry. You’ll also learn about why the changes have necessitated a shift in the business model and attracted technology companies. Additionally, you’ll learn about the complexity that these changes have introduced and what traditional OEMs are doing to remain competitive. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: The current trends in the automotive industry (00:49) The cause of change in the automotive industry’s OEMs business model (04:10) The complexity that emphasis on software has brought to vehicle design (06:44) How traditional OEMs are handling the need for electrification (12:13) Connect with Matt Bromley:  LinkedIn Connect with Nand Kochhar:  LinkedIn Connect with Doug Burcicki:  LinkedIn Connect with Tim Kinman:  LinkedIn Connect with Nicholas Finberg:  LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

  • Understand Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

    Understand Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing
    Feb 9 2022
    In MBSE, testing gives confidence to engineers by confirming that the product they developed works as intended. With virtual hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), the engineers can easily generate the right data to prove their hypothesis as well as improve on the design’s performance. That data can also be used by machine learning models if there is a need for end-product automation. Today’s hosts are Nicholas Finberg of Siemens Global Marketing, and Tim Kinman, Vice President of Trending Solutions and Global Program Lead for Systems Digitalization at Siemens Digital Industries Software. They are joined by Michael Baloh and Jan Richter, both from Siemens Digital Industries Software. In this episode, you’ll learn how hardware-in-the-loop simulation works as well as how it fits into the continuous verification process. You’ll also learn about the benefits of a virtual HIL and how it facilitates automation at later stages of development. Lastly, you’ll hear about the best way to utilize the feedback collected from the end-products use. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: How software and loop testing fit into continuous verification (02:27) Recent trends on HIL usage within the automotive design industry (06:50) The difference between virtual HIL and a physical HIL (08:13) Understand how far continuous verification and validation go within the MBSE process (10:35) Connect with Jan Richter:  LinkedIn Connect with Tim Kinman:  LinkedIn Connect with Nicholas Finberg:  LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.
