Complexity in the Automotive Industry with a Systems Engineering Approach

Overview

The automotive industry's increased product and process complexity urge many auto OEMs and suppliers to reevaluate their current product development processes. By deploying a Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach, manufacturers can remain competitive, agile, and cost-effective while tackling the challenges of quality, increased regulation, sustainability, and cost. It also connects systems engineering with the rest of the development organization, improving collaboration and decision-making. While the advantages are plentiful, a systems engineering approach encounters challenges: only some requirements can be modeled with the level of accuracy needed, and a heterogeneous mix of modeling and analysis tools from various sources makes it difficult to link all of them synchronously.

During this webinar, our experts will explain the value of a MBSE approach. Using the example of an electric drive, they will illustrate how to link all requirements to the corresponding models, ensuring a digital thread of requirements remains in the modeling environment from requirements to design, analysis, verification, and validation.

• In the early stages, a systems engineering approach helps to make an informed decision and arrive at a baseline architecture and refined system requirements that later become a blueprint for detailed design and simulation.
• Next, the systems engineering approach enables a better product architecture and design options exploration, optimization, and concept selection with simulation and modeling tools, including evaluating the performance and trade-offs of different design options.
• In the connected engineering and product validation stage, MBSE ensures that the simulation and testing workflows are well integrated with requirements, system architecture, ECAD/MCAD, and the rest of the process, making it easier to understand and communicate the design and requirements of the electric drive system throughout the development organization.
