Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

• Integrated, team-based modeling.
• Robust requirements management.
• Simulate, optimize and analyze complex dynamic systems.
• Mathematical integrations including MATLAB, Octave, Modelica and the Cephes Math Library.
• Full traceability and gap analysis.
• Dynamic charts for simulation visualization.
• Automated documentation generation.
• Real-time, web-based access.
• Open standards-based interoperability.
• Fully customizable.

With built-in requirements management capabilities and support for SysML requirements, Enterprise Architect helps you trace high-level specifications to analysis, design, implementation, test and maintenance models using UML, SysML, BPMN and other open standards.

Build robust and maintainable systems

Enterprise Architect is a multi-user, modeling and simulation tool designed to help your teams build robust and maintainable systems. Using high-quality, collaborative tools you can deliver a truly shared vision easily and accurately!

Use Enterprise Architect's requirements management features to build a hierarchical model of formal requirements and trace through to design and implementation.

• Involve the whole team to define and/or capture requirements.
• Document, view and edit requirements using the Specification Manager.
• Record, model, evaluate and trace requirements.
• Use diagram filters, legends and visualization techniques.
• Link requirements to use cases, components, software artifacts, test cases and more.
• Use Time Aware Models to define and visualize how Requirement models change over time.

Import requirements from a variety of external sources and formats, such as DOORS and Polarion. Attach to model elements for an instant view of the impact on the design, implementation, test or deployment models.

Behavioral Model Simulation

Bring your models to life using dynamic model simulation. Verify the correctness of your behavioral and state machine models and gain a better understanding of how a system works. Use triggers such as pressing a button, flicking a switch or receiving a message to control the execution of your simulations. Enterprise Architect can also control the flow of your simulation using Guards and Effects written in JavaScript.

"Solver" classes

Use Enterprise Architect's solver classes and the maths library to provide powerful Simulation capabilities in standard UML models:

• Invoke complex mathematical functions from MATLAB or Octave at run time to guide your simulation and plot the results.
• Collect and visualize simulation data as a Dynamic Chart using the JavaScript engine and Dynamic Chart library.
• Use the Cephes math library within simulations from the Javascript engine.

Solver classes are also accessible to Add-In writers creating their own model based JavaScript Add-Ins.

Improve business outcomes

Use breakpoints to analyze decision making and improve outcomes. Simulation can help to improve communication, convey essential system ideas and reduce complexity.

Run SysML simulations in Modelica or MATLAB's Simulink and Stateflow. Using SysPhS SysML, Enterprise Architect translates your SysML model into the Simulink/Modelica format and automatically runs the simulation, plotting the results.

Features include:

• Drag-and-drop access to common built-in Simulink/Modelica library blocks using Enterprise Architect's SysPhS patterns.
• Referencing your own custom built blocks using SysPhS standard stereotype parameters.
• Viewing and running the generated component diagrams directly in Simulink or Modelica allowing modification and fine-tuning of the simulation settings and output functionality.

Complete traceability

Enterprise Architect provides complete traceability from systems requirements, analysis and design models, through to implementation and deployment.

Effective verification, validation and immediate impact analysis are possible across the entire system, using such capabilities as Enterprise Architect's Relationship Matrix and Hierarchy View.

Validation & verification based on design rules

Enterprise Architect has been optimized for testing, quality control and end-to-end verification and traceability of complex systems.

Visual Execution Analyzer (VEA)

Enterprise Architect features an advanced and powerful suite of tools to build, debug, record, profile, simulate and otherwise construct and verify your software development while keeping the code tightly integrated with your model.

Verify and Validate with Testpoints

Manage systems well beyond release

Enterprise Architect is an award winning platform for Lifecycle Development with advanced features for deployment and maintaining Model Based Systems projects.

Project owners are furnished with a variety of management tools to communicate to stakeholders, identify priorities and allocate tasks.

Through stringent MBSE practices, full traceability of all project elements ensures successful deployment and maintenance of your next Systems Engineering project.

• Identify and visualize priority issues with Gantt charts
• Use color-coding to highlight project status, resources and more
• Allocate resources, monitor progress and identify critical areas
• Full tracability of all artifacts throughout the MBSE process
• Articulate to stakeholders via roadmaps, charts and documentation
