As products and systems reach ever higher levels of complexities organizations embrace new methodologies and tools to manage it. Systems models are at the heart of this development and are the primary focus of the Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach. Systems models, when connected to requirements, simulation and physical design implementations, serve as a connective tissue between the design intent and the design data. They allow engineers to study emergent system behaviors (positive and negative) before they become part of the subsequent detailed mechanical, electronic and software implementations.

Built as a native capability of the Aras PLM platform, Aras Systems Architecture application enables capturing of a systems model as a structured content that is fully connected with the rest of the content managed by the Aras PLM platform. This traceability extends to requirements, simulation studies, implementation details and all associated documents. Systems model structures can be configuration managed with the rest of the content providing Digital Thread across the entire product lifecycle.

During this 30-minute presentation, you will see how systems model content is created, how it is related to items managed by Aras PLM platform, and how that platform’s change and configuration management helps to establish and maintain traceability.

Please join Michael Pfenning, Aras Product Manager and Systems Engineering expert, to learn how the Aras Systems Architecture application and the underlying PLM Platform enables your organization to integrate systems models with the rest of the design structures.
