Abstract:
The increasing complexity of newly developed systems requires the usage of advanced design methods and tools, such as Multi-Disciplinary Analysis and Optimisation (MDAO). MDAO processes help to evaluate, explore and optimize a complex system in a fully integrated approach. The issue is however to ensure that these MDAO processes provide appropriate solutions to the system designers, respecting the system requirements and at acceptable cost and computation time. In this paper, we present a Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE)-based methodology for the design of MDAO processes that aims at ensuring the digital continuity from the high-level business and system requirements to the MDAO processes. Once defined, the MDAO process specification is automatically extracted from the MBSE models, and then the process is automatically created in the GEMSEO MDAO framework. This methodology is tested and validated on an academic use case.
