Abstract:
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is an applied Systems Engineering (SE) methodology which aims to improve upon inefficiencies posed throughout the traditional document-centric approach of SE, utilizing a data-centric model serving as the “single source of truth”. This modern approach faces opposition to wide-scale adoption for a myriad of reasons, including users’ inexperience with the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and client software, easy access to the MBSE model, and confusion on how a model adds value throughout the SE life cycle for each functional area. The focus of this paper highlights these issues and addresses the need for accurate documentation. Utilizing Cameo Systems Modeler’s (CSM) capabilities, this paper implements multiple methods to generate documents from MBSE models. The first approach is through Apache’s Velocity Template Language (VTL) in conjunction with CSM’s Report Wizard to pull the data from the model into pre-built templates. This approach has been best utilized with the Data Information Description (DID) format, and leverages pre-existing model structure. The second approach is the use of CSM’s Java API’s to access the model and output it to any desired format. This has been utilized in more flexible templates to achieve reusable code that aims to provide updated test documentation. This paper also compares these methods' strengths in a trade-off analysis, and explores future efforts to increase adoption of MBSE.
