Presentation will share details of an integrated systems modeling and analysis platform built from components that are entirely commercial or open-sourced with components in active use at JPL for flight project work.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 25 February 2016—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces that Dr. Bjorn Cole, a systems engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), will join David Long, the immediate past president of INCOSE (The International Council on Systems Engineering) to make a presentation at CIMdata’s Simulation-Driven Systems Development Knowledge Council workshop which will take place at Michigan State University’s Management Education Center in Troy, Michigan on April 27. The event is being held in conjunction with NAFEMS’ Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Automotive Industry: Emerging Standards & Practices event which will take place at the same location on April 28.
The systems modeling community has matured greatly in the past few years since the release of the Systems Modeling Language 1.0. There are now auxiliary standards for execution (fUML, 2011; Precise Semantics for Composite Structures (PSCS), 2015) and tools to support interconnectivity between system models and analyses. In his presentation, “Integration of SysML models with M&S tools for Behavior Modeling & Simulation,” Dr. Cole will share how JPL is leveraging these trends together with flight project-grade systems to provide these models with proper management. The presentation will describe an integrated systems modeling and analysis platform built from components that are entirely commercial or open-sourced with components in active use at JPL for flight project work.
Dr. Cole is a systems engineer at JPL in the Systems Modeling, Analysis, and Architectures group. He currently leads the Project Systems Engineering Analysis team on the Europa project, which is charged with deploying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) analysis capability. He has previously supported a series of MBSE research efforts and was a member of both the A-Team and Team X formulation groups at JPL. He has a Ph.D. and M.S. in aerospace engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a B.S. in aeronautics and astronautics from the University of Washington.
CIMdata’s Simulation-Driven Systems Development workshop is a must-attend event for industrial organizations and PLM software and service providers involved in systems modeling and simulation. It offers independent education and a collaborative networking environment where ideas, trends, experiences, and relationships critical to the industry take root.
The theme for the workshop is Driving Industry to Model-Based Systems Engineering. Presentations and interactive sessions will address the following critical areas: industry standards, MBSE requirements, co-simulation, and the integration of SysML models with modeling and simulation tools. Attendees should expect to gain a solid understanding of current best practices and of the work that CIMdata’s Simulation-Driven Systems Development Knowledge Council is undertaking.
Mr. Donald Tolle, CIMdata’s Director, Simulation-Driven Systems Development Practice will serve as the facilitator for this workshop. He will be joined by CIMdata’s Executive Consultant for Simulation, Dr. Keith Meintjes.
