Systems Architecture & Specification
Analyze Stakeholders Needs & Requirements to Specify and Simulate Best Solutions Trade Off
Adopt Industry-leading Systems Architecture and Design solutions
Systems Architecture solutions enables to capture multiple stakeholders needs to analyze systems missions, define operational concept and model the system with its subsystems and their interfaces. CATIA Magic portfolio empower Enterprise Architects and Systems Architects to model all aspects of complex systems with the most standard-compliant models and diagrams, leveraging SysML, UAF, UML and other key industry standards.
This Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach support multiple scales modeling & simulation:
- MBSE for Enterprise: master the complexity of enterprise landscape with a systemic approach to support decision based on explicit enterprise model
- MBSE for Product: increase the efficiency of design alternatives and scenario evaluation, to improve first time quality design and product traceability for certification
- MBSE for Industrial Network: anticipate risk and cost for new industrial network with what-if scenarios on supply chain performance and reactivity
Elicit Stakeholders Needs and Create Systems & Sub-Systems
Support Systems Architects to specify every aspects of a systems, from stakeholders requirements analysis to functions and components definition across engineering disciplines. Stakeholders requirements and architecture models can be shared and reviewed in a collaborative environment. Systems architecture is modeled, from operational architecture to functional and logical decomposition using industry-proven SysML standard.
Model & Evaluate System of Systems Mission
System of systems modeling and simulation enables to elaborate the optimal concept of operations to achieve high performance missions. Its intuitive system of systems modeling supports key UAF, NAF, MODAF Standards. Architect can easily represent and communicate complex system of systems concepts, to facilitate multiple stakeholders and multiple organization and enterprises understanding to reach mission objective.
Execute & Simulate System Architecture to Select Best Solutions Trade-Off
Systems Architecture models can be executed, enabling to test how the system reacts to user interaction or predefined testing data and execution scenarios. It enables to virtually predict system behavior before deriving requirements to specify with accuracy the solution and taking into consideration uncertainties to make solution trade-offs for early decision making. The system completeness and consistency can be analyzed with simulation, improving specification quality and preventing rework loops or test and integration issues.
Capture and Manage Systems Specifications & Test Strategy
Capture requirements from multiple sources and tools, enabling to establish a unified repository and improve team collaboration among the product development phases. Leveraging Requirement Engineer solution, elicit, refine and track requirements from initial “Voice of the Customers” and Stakeholders needs, up to the detailed technical specifications for product design. Validation & Verification strategy can be associated to systems specifications to identify any gap in requirements coverage. Ease standards and regulations compliance thanks traceability and change management control.

FAQ About System Architecture Modeling
In CATIA, system architectures can encompass various examples, such as the structural, mechanical systems, and avionics layers in aircraft design, the chassis, powertrain, and electrical systems layers in automobiles, and the mechanical design, electronic systems, and software layers in consumer electronics.
It is Magic Cyber Systems Engineer from CATIA Magic Portfolio. However the main value of the software is modeling and diagrams are for representing different aspects of a model. The truth is in the models!
