Connect Your MBSE Systems Architecture Model SAM) to Any Engineering AnalysisModelCenter provides a graphical user interface for executing the connected ModelCenter workflow. Analysis results can check requirements conformance, with unsatisfied requirements are automatically highlighted. Trade studies can evaluate different design configurations and optimize the system design. New design configurations can update the systems model. | Simulate Complex System BehaviorsModelCenter permits engineers to connect any analysis to behavioral diagrams created using NoMagic MagicDraw/Cameo or PTC Windchill Modeler. The integrated model (behavioral diagram plus analysis) results in a high-fidelity system simulation allowing engineers to accurately VERIFY system behavior and performance early in the design cycle, reducing costs and designing better products. | Automate the Execution of Any Modeling and Simulation ToolModelCenter Integrate provides users with tools and methods that allow them to automate the execution of any modeling tool. Examples include user-created tools and scripts, legacy FORTRAN/C++ programs, spreadsheets, mathematical models, databases, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) models. |
Author Engineering WorkflowsOnce a few software tools are automated, ModelCenter’s drag-and-drop graphical user interface can be Once a few software tools are automated, ModelCenter's drag-and-drop graphical user interface can assemble these tools into a complete engineering workflow. An engineering workflow is a flowchart that specifies the order and conditions on how and when to automate the tools. Like flowcharts, workflows can contain branches, if-then statements, loops, etc. Execute the workflow – automatically. ModelCenter's Link Editor allows you to specify the data transferred from one tool to the next when the workflow happens. Your workflow may contain tools that run on any number of different computers and operating systems. | Explore the Design Space and Gain Insight into the Desing ProblemAnalysis and trade-study results can discover significant trends and tradeoffs. Once a repeatable engineering analysis process is created, engineers can repeatedly execute the process (using parallel computing resources if available). Each execution corresponds to a different set of inputs. This process allows engineers to explore and quantify the performance, cost, reliability, and risk of many various design alternatives in a relatively short time. |
