Identifying the Roadblocks in MBSE: Do These Challenges Sound Familiar?:
  • Complexity and Stagnation: Implementing an MBSE strategy often starts with enthusiasm, but as unforeseen complexities arise, projects can stall. This leads to frustration and uncertainty, making it challenging to move forward.
  • Lack of a Clear Roadmap: Without a well-defined roadmap, efforts to implement MBSE and foster collaborative development falter. Teams struggle with knowing where to start, how to progress, and how to integrate the various disciplines involved.
  • Overwhelming Technical Landscape: The technical aspects of MBSE are vast and diverse, making it difficult for teams to determine how to piece them together effectively. This can lead to confusion and inefficiency in the implementation process.
  • Unrealistic Expectations: Upper management often has high expectations for the benefits of commercial MBSE solutions, while customers anticipate significant advantages from digital engineering directives. Navigating these pressures can be overwhelming and lead to misaligned goals.
  • Conceptual Overlap and Confusion: Understanding the relationships between MBSE and other concepts like digital engineering, digital enterprise, digital thread, and digital twin can be challenging. This confusion can hinder effective communication and integration across teams and projects.

Earlier in 2024, CIMdata initiated an industry research project on model-based systems engineering (MBSE) for Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) member companies in collaboration with several prominent PLM solution providers. The participants' shared objective is understanding industry needs and opportunities and aligning perspectives on the topic. The desired result is to meaningfully impact the solution providers’ strategies and the industrial users’ implementation roadmaps.

This webinar will provide the context for the issues and hypotheses being explored. The speaker will describe the research approach CIMdata is pursuing to answer these questions and test these hypotheses. A report on the initial findings from the research will follow.

This Webinar will help
  • Enhance Your Understanding: Grasp the foundational concepts of systems engineering and MBSE.
  • Provide Industry Insights: Hear what drives top companies to invest in MBSE and learn how they define its value.
  • Showcase Success Stories: Explore real-world examples of how industry leaders have successfully implemented parts of their MBSE vision, providing practical insights.
  • Reveal Future Investment Plans: Uncover where and how leading organizations plan to expand their MBSE initiatives, offering you a glimpse into the future of this evolving area.
  • Address the Challenges: Understand the most significant barriers faced by industry leaders in their MBSE journeys and the innovative strategies and solutions they’ve used to overcome them.
  • Explore Technology Alignment: Understand how industry leaders view the current state of MBSE-enabling technologies and the degree of alignment with solution providers.
Who should attend?

The webinar will interest anyone responsible for system design optimization and validation, whether the system is a product or the system by which the product is produced or supported. Specific roles include product program managers, product program planners, systems engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical/electronic engineers, software/hardware engineers, modeling and simulation engineers, manufacturing engineers, service engineers, and anyone involved in digitalization.

During the webinar, you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
