    Industrial products are becoming increasingly complex due to the use and development of mechatronic systems. This increasing complexity is addressed by virtual representations of the systems in the form of interdisciplinary models. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) supports product development from the early development phase through validation, verification and integration up to later life cycle phases of the product by means of system modeling.Typical drivers for innovations in the industrial environment are business viability, technology driven feasibility and human driven desirability. While business viability and feasibility are considered in most product development processes and innovation driven projects, the human factor is often neglected in this context. This is addressed by a MBSE Capability and Maturation Matrix (CMM), which consists of capabilities for the acquisition and mastering of the MBSE competencies. The authors have considered Design Thinking as a feasible approach to transfer MBSE knowledge and thus support this acquisition MBSE competencies. This publication shall present the first findings on the application of Design Thinking for the creation of a user-centered MBSE introduction event. This event shall be used in further iterative steps to teach non-experts in the MBSE field the required competencies for their work and thus support the CMM development capability.

    In Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) there is yet no converged terminology. The term 'system model' is used in different contexts in literature. In this study we elaborated the definitions and usages of the term 'system model', to find a common definition. We analyzed 104 publications in depth for their usage and definition as well as their meta-data e.g., the publication year and publication background to find some common patterns. While the term is gaining more interest in recent years, it is used in a broad range of contexts for both analytical and synthetic use cases. Based on this, three categories of system models have been defined and integrated into a more precise definition.

    MBSE-Modellierung für Verhaltens- und Struktursimulation
    ( 2021)
    Zimmermann, Thomas
    echnische Systeme werden mithilfe von Modellbasiertem Systems Engineering (MBSE) beschrieben, um eine domänenübergreifende Wissensbasis zu erzeugen, die es den beteiligten Stakeholdern ermöglicht, Systemelemente konsistent und parallel zu entwickeln. Die Qualität dieser Modelle ist maßgeblich dafür, wie effizient dieses Wissen aus dem MBSE auch zur Systemexploration verwendet werden kann, um Systemzusammenhänge zu analysieren, indem verschiedene Modellarten gemeinsam simuliert werden.
