A contribution to the reconciliation of MBSE methods

CSD&M 2020

Speaker:
Philippe Fiani – R&D Manager at SHERPA ENGINEERING
Philippe is the R&D Manager at Sherpa Engineering and in charge of the development and the industrial deployment of a Model-Based methodology dedicated to cyber-physical systems. With his extensive experience in control system design, digital modeling and system engineering he has strongly contributed to the development and application of a system design and analysis method based on systemic modeling.

Abstract:
MBSE is increasingly being adopted in industries such as automotive and aeronautics. The challenge for any design center today is more in the appropriate choice of the method and tools and their instantiation to their specific issues and needs. This choice is constrained by corporate considerations and by the maturity of the available tools. Some large groups have chosen to develop their own tool-based methodology which is a very consuming process, but the majority of companies must deal with the existing one.

Two engineering methods coexist, that promoted by CESAM and that by Arcadia. The two methods have similarities, particularly in their purpose, but differ in their implementation, each one having its advantages. We are going to show you, on an industrial use-case, how these two methods can be aligned.

The talk presents the modeling of an aircraft electric green taxiing system using the Eclipse Capella comprehensive tool which is based on Arcadia system engineering method. In this work, the modeling method followed the precepts of CESAM framework and used the Papyrus-PhiSystem profile to ensure the link with the simulation models used by the designers.
