Software streamlines modelling in engineering projects
Software by Maplesoft enables companies to employ a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach to design projects without requiring every engineer on the project to be an expert in complex MBSE tools.
The MapleMBSE release 2019.0 improves the workflow by making it even easier to create and modify many of the structures used to define and analyse the design.
Using an Excel-based interface, MapleMBSE provides a streamlined interface for each task in the MBSE project, such as defining requirements, impact analysis, trade-off studies, and failure mode effects analysis. These streamlined interfaces make these tasks significantly easier to perform, claims Maplesoft and reduce the time and errors that typically come with using a standard MBSE tool.
The new release includes enhanced support for the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) used by many MBSE tools, including MapleMBSE. Support can define requirements, architecture, behaviour and relationships, including activity diagrams, state machines, and parametric diagrams. By making it easier to create and modify these underlying SysML constructs, the new release reduces the time and effort required to define the requirements and the relationships between them, analyse the impact of changes, and improve the design.
Other improvements in this release enhance the integration of MapleMBSE with model management systems, including faster model access through Teamwork Cloud. By connecting MapleMBSE to Teamwork Cloud, customers can seamlessly access models created in a number of different tools, including MagicDraw, and Cameo Systems Modeler. MapleMBSE can also be integrated directly with other SysML-based tools, such as IBM Rational Rhapsody.
