Description

Model-based System Engineering and use of Digital Twins/Threads are fashionable quot;catch-phrasesquot; in the industry. These concepts have the potential to significantly improve the quality of the engineering systems (through improved designs and problem detection earlier in the life-cycle)nbsp;andnbsp;the time and cost of System Engineering by automating low-level manual labornbsp;sub-tasks performed by design engineers.The ldquo;devil is in the detailsrdquo;nbsp;in successfully implementing MBSE and Digital Twins. Each type of engineering design and analysis has different requirements. Every project is different.The purpose of this project is to leverage advances in MBSE development technologies pioneered by SPEC Innovations with their cloud-based Innoslatereg; MBSE product and the advances in engineering design and development of Standard Operating Procedures pioneered by the Center for Air Transportation Systemsnbsp;Research (CATSR) at George Mason University (GMU).The goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate the application of digital assistants withnbsp;MBSE and advanced SOP design methods on the design of SOPs.This project meets thenbsp;burgeoning need in the industry following recent airliner accidents and joint initiatives undertaken between CATSR/GMU the U.S. and U.K. Navies.
