Product complexity is driving the need for better product requirement and hardware architecture definition in the form of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). MBSE is becoming the new starting point for product development. For example, a requirement for a braking system is a stopping distance of 300 feet at 60 mph. MBSE provides the product model but it needs to be realized in the form of enclosures, wires, PCBs, screws, etc. Realizing the MBSE design begins with architecture optimization – another new design phase. When entering detailed design, a poor architecture will result in a poor product.
We have examined systems development in great detail over the last few months. We introduced variations of the digital engineering approach and discussed how each one could aid the development process. For example, systems...
The main purpose of a systems engineering tool is to augment the work of the systems engineer by providing a framework in which to construct a model of the system. This helps in two...
There used to be a time, not too long ago, where the designs were done manually without automation. Now, the majority of engineering teams use somewhat intelligent tools to create designs. That is to...
The Digital Transformation and, in turn, Digital Engineering continues to be a focal point at Zuken. More and more companies are turning to digital processes for their complex product designs. Therefore, we’re developing digital...
The complexity of electrical and electronic (E/E) systems is accelerating across multiple industries and sectors. Manufacturers are adapting their design and development approaches to meet the changing requirements of advancing electrification. The automotive industry...
