As Model-Based Engineering (MBE) advances, the enduring accessibility and reusability of critical Engineering Analysis & Simulation (EAS) assets are paramount for a truly complete Digital Thread. LOTAR International’s Engineering Analysis & Simulation (EAS) working group develops standards for archiving, retrieving, and reusing these vital assets — inputs, results, and metadata — independent of originating IT […]

In 2024, the Aerospace and Defence (A&D) PLM Action Group’s Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Working Group undertook its Phase 5 investigation, evaluating Systems Modeling Language (SysML) 2.0 as a mechanism for enhancing MBSE collaboration across the A&D industry. Comprised of leading A&D companies, the group assessed whether SysML 2.0 represents a significant advancement over SysML […]

MBSE Functional and Logical architectures. Within PLM circles it’s undeniably hot stuff, but swapping those architectures between tools often feels like pulling teeth, especially for colleagues in manufacturing where the shiny Digital Thread risks becoming Digital Spaghetti. The big faux-pas? Thinking Tool B opening Tool A’s file means that we understand each other. Newsflash: that’s […]
