Presentation will offer a vision for Model-Based Systems Engineering in support of systems engineering
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 4 March 2014—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces that Dr. Martin Eigner, an authority on systems engineering, will make a presentation at CIMdata’s upcoming European workshop, Bridging the Requirements Gap with Model-Based Systems Engineering, which will take place in Bad Homburg, Germany on 9 April, 2014.
Dr. Eigner’s presentation, “From Documents to Models: The Vision for Model-Based Systems Engineering,” will detail the case for using shared digital models to capture requirements and knowledge to enable collaboration and concurrent engineering, rather than relying on requirements documents that do not communicate well between organizations, and do not relate to design elements. Examples of why this is critical to establishing a systems concept in organizations’ product development processes will be presented. How model-based systems engineering supports and enables systems engineering concepts throughout product development, and how it facilitates detailed design concepts, will also be described.
CIMdata’s Bridging the Requirements Gap with Model-Based Systems Engineering workshop is a must-attend event for industrial organizations and solution providers involved with systems engineering or with simulation for product development. It provides independent education and a collaborative networking environment where ideas, trends, experiences, and relationships critical to these disciplines germinate and take root. Attendees should expect to gain a solid understanding of current best practices and of the work that CIMdata’s Systems Engineering and Simulation & Analysis Knowledge Councils are undertaking.
