Strengthen Your Technology Development Project With MBSE System Conceptual Design

A clear and traceable system design is paramount to success

System Conceptual Design models enable you to:

Clarify Complexity: Create a single source of truth that clearly communicates the system’s requirements, architecture, and behavior to both your team and to external stakeholders.

Simplify Compliance: Build end-to-end traceability from requirements down to design and verification, which significantly reduces documentation effort and project risk.

MBSE system conceptual design

MBSE system conceptual design is the application of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to the early, exploratory stages of a system’s lifecycle, where it uses low-fidelity models to define the system’s overall vision and requirements. This approach emphasizes creating a formal system model that serves as a single source of truth for high-level goals, business requirements, and user needs before transitioning to more detailed design phases. Key aspects include using formal languages like SysML and connecting the conceptual model to simulation tools to validate high-level concepts.  


Key aspects of MBSE conceptual design

Focus on early stage exploration: It is specifically applied to the research and concept stages, where the goal is to understand and communicate the system’s overall vision and strategic objectives. 


Centralized system model: A System Architecture Model (SAM) acts as a single source of truth, capturing requirements, use cases, and logical relationships. This model is central to the process and is used to guide the design from the earliest phase onward. 


Formal modeling languages: Formal languages such as SysML are used to ensure the system’s requirements, design, and analysis are captured with the same level of rigor, regardless of the development phase. 


Integration with analysis and simulation: The conceptual model is linked to simulation and analysis tools to validate high-level concepts and test different scenarios early in the design process, reducing the need for later rework. 


Improved communication: By capturing the overall vision in a formal, living representation, it improves communication across teams by providing a common, verifiable framework for the system’s goals and requirements.
