A counterintuitive trend is that many products are becoming simpler mechanically, but more complex functionally and delivering richer experiences. For example, an EV is mechanically simpler than a conventional vehicle, but the complexity is increasing rapidly to address working with the electrical grid and managing the life and safety of batteries. Computing embedded in products allows new features to be added using software. However, because physical products are constrained by physics, this means that the task of combining physical systems and software is a systems problem where integration of the many parts can delay or even doom projects.
The engineering of products is more and more complex to satisfy the market expectations for a greater “customer experience”. Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) is a critical tool to address these challenges. Model Based Systems Engineering is a disciplined, rigorous approach to systems engineering using modeling and simulation in their related processes such as requirement engineering, system architecture, systems simulation, verification and validation.
