Automated Derivation of MBS Models from SysML System Architecture Models

Procedia CIRP, vol. 136, pp. 850–855

Abstract

Increasing complexity of technical systems and shorter time-to-market demand virtual validation. Model-based systems Engineering enables seamless connection of systems through all development stages utilizing a system model. A system model stores various system information, from requirements to system architecture and design. However, to validate design changes, simulation models as MBS models are required, which are often created manually and separate from the system model. Therefore, this work aims to connect system and simulation models, enabling an automated MBS model generation from a SysML architecture. With this method the manual effort required for system and design validation can be minimized.
