MBSE with Advanced Simulation

None.

Intended Audience:

• Systems Engineers involved in architecture modeling and system design.
• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Practitioners.

Using a combination of lectures, demos, and interactive labs, this course provides a foundation for utilizing MBSE within the CATIA Magic environment. Students will learn SysML and its application within CATIA Magic. This course also provides students with a deep understanding of the simulation capabilities of CATIA Magic including parametric simulations, behavioral simulations, trade studies, MATLAB integrations, mock User interfaces, creating graphs and charts, and more.​
