This presentation will offer an alternate view of the Systems Engineering "V" in a Model-Based Engineering Environment.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA, 21 September 2018—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces that Mr. Donald Farr, a Senior Technical Fellow on the Systems, Support, and Analytics Integrated Technology Team at Boeing Research & Technology (BR&T), will make a presentation at PLM Road Map EMEA 2018. This one-day event will be held in collaboration with PDT Europe. The events will take place on 24 & 25 October at Le Meridien Hotel, Stuttgart, Germany. The theme for PLM Road Map is “Digitalizing Reality—PLM's role in enabling the digital revolution.”
The Systems Engineering “V” has served government, industry, and academia well for over 25 years as a model of the product development process for complex engineered systems. This familiar V portrays the decomposition of requirements and design definition from system down to components and the resulting system integration and validation from components up to the end-user system. Today, exponential improvements in computing speed and power have allowed aerospace engineers to dramatically increase the use of analytical models and simulations leading to the creation of digital twins. Corresponding advances in software and data standards enable the use of a single-source of authoritative data and streamline the analytical interfaces and functional handoffs via the digital thread. Furthermore, as new capabilities are introduced into the model-based engineering (MBE) process, the digital thread can extend across customers, OEMs, and suppliers, providing an unprecedented level of concurrency, collaboration, and feedback throughout the ecosystem.
In his presentation, “An Alternate View of the Systems Engineering "V" in a Model-Based Engineering Environment,” Mr. Farr will introduce attendees at PLM Road Map to the “MBE Diamond,” an approach that captures these advances and brings the digital thread to life by enumerating the physical and virtual paths into a model for concurrent collaboration in the product lifecycle that spans the product, production system, and support system. He will also share an approach for establishing a true cyber-physical system where the digital twin is embedded with the physical platform.
Mr. Farr is currently working on implementing MBE approaches using BCA/BDS uses through a representative Enterprise Digital Thread. His first assignment at BR&T was the development and integration of an advanced discrimination technology into the Missile Defense architecture. Mr. Farr joined the Technical Fellowship Program as an Associate Technical Fellow while he was working on the advanced communication system on the Comanche helicopter program. He became a Technical Fellow while he was developing technology for Network Centric Operations (NCO) demonstrations. He is recognized as Boeing’s expert for digital communication and multilevel security on the Comanche helicopter and as one of Boeing's leading experts in NCO technology development and integration.
PLM Road Map EMEA, in collaboration with PDT Europe, is the must-attend event for PLM industry leaders and PLM practitioners globally—providing independent education and a collaborative networking environment where ideas, trends, experiences, and relationships critical to the industry germinate and take root.
