Broadcast date: July 31st, 2023, 19 CET  One of the really new features of SysML v2 is the ability to model geometries. Let’s take a closer look at that in today’s episode. What exactly can I model? Can I use SysML v2 for CAD modeling now? This time we don’t have a guest. For one thing, it’s summer break for many, and for another, we both know SysML v2, and Christian i...

Broadcast date: June 29th, 2023, 19 CET  The upcoming next-generation modeling language SysML v2 comes with an API. At first, it may seem like nothing special that you can now access a SysML model via an API. But it can become a game changer in the MBSE modeling world. At least it lays the foundations for it. We’ve talked a lot about SysML v2 on the MBSE podcast, but not yet in detail a...

Broadcast date: May 15th, 2023, 19 CET  Since ChatGPT became popular, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic of discussion. However, AI has already been under discussion in systems engineering for quite some time. AI is a technology that has already made its way into several systems, and to design and deploy successful systems with AI, we need to have a common understanding of it...

Raphael is the founder and CEO of Samares Engineering, an engineering consultancy based n...

Broadcast date: April 3rd, 2023, 19 CET  After over 5 years of work with over 200 people from over 80 organizations, the OMG votes on the final submission of SysML v2 at the end of March. Truly a historic milestone for MBSE. We’ve talked about SysML v2 more often in our podcast, for example with one of the masterminds of SysML v2, Ed Seidewitz: SysML v2 – A look behind the scenes...

Broadcast date: February 22nd, 2023, 19 CET  This time it’s not about specific MBSE content. Instead, we talk with our guest Zsolt Sandor about how to build an active community of systems engineering professionals. In addition to experience and training, the exchange with experts is another important pillar to mastering the craft of systems engineering.  Zsolt is the community mana...

Broadcast date: January 20th, 2023, 19 CET  Systems Thinking is an essential skill for system engineers. We talk about what Systems Thinking is and how to learn it in this episode. And we wouldn’t be an MBSE podcast if we didn’t also discuss what Systems Thinking has to do with MBSE. Our guest is Lydia Kaiser. She is a Professor of Digital Engineering 4.0 at Technische Universität...

Broadcast date: December 13th, 2022, 19 CET  While in the early days of SysML, the exchange of models was mainly seen as a way to change modeling tools, today, there are a variety of use cases that fall under the buzzword Digital Thread. Together with our guest Daniel Siegl from LieberLieber we want to look at the different ways SysML models can be exchanged, both in theory and in practice. W...

Broadcast date: November 23rd, 2022, 19 CET  If you compare the definition of the concept of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and the definition of SE (Systems Engineering) and MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering), you´ll find many commonalities. Both concepts claim a life-cycle view of a system or a product. The differences are more in generating and using models in contrast to the manag...

Broadcast date: September 5th, 2022, 19 CET  We want to learn how MBSE is used in the world, and this time we will visit Spain. Our guest is Juan Llorens. We talk about how MBSE is being used in Spain, what the state of training is, what organizations exist for MBSE, where the challenges are, and more. Juan is CTO of The REUSE Company, a professor at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and...

Broadcast date: August 17th, 2022, 19 CET  At regular intervals, INCOSE publishes a vision that describes how the discipline of Systems Engineering and its changing context is seen in the future. The vision is thus an inspiration and guidance for strategic orientation. In early 2022, INCOSE published its new vision for the year 2035. Our guest Paul Schreinemakers was a member of the team that...

Broadcast date: June 6th, 2022, 19 CET  SysML v2 is finally in the last stretch to completion. The SST team has worked on this next-generation modeling language since 2017.

Ed is also the CTO of Model D...

Broadcast date: April 27th, 2022, 19:00 CET SysML v2 is in its final run. In this episode, we address the question of what will then become of the many SysML v1 models.  The SysML v2 specification also includes a formal definition of the transformation from SysML v1 to SysML v2 models. Since Tim is one of the transformation developers, we didn’t invite an additional guest this time. We&...

Broadcast date: March 29th, 2022, 19:00 CET Broadcast date: March 29th, 2022, 19:00 CET The interoperability of engineering tools is a hot topic. That means, we want to break up the data silos, where data of specific tools is often hidden. There is hardly any engineering project that does not have it as a challenge.  One way to interoperate between tools, is a common file format, for example,...

Broadcast date: February 28th, 2022, 19:00 CET – Language: English This time we are talking about ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288. In the following, we will refer to this standard as 15288.
