Systems engineering software

Embrace a "start integrated, stay integrated" mindset. Leverage the comprehensive digital twin to accelerate product development and deliver the products of the future efficiently, cost-effectively and sustainably.

Why use systems engineering software?

Contemporary products are smart and connected. They are premium quality, individualized, safe and sustainable. As they increase in complexity, so do their organizations.

The historical "build then integrate" approach is no longer sustainable. It often leads to missed requirements and late discovery of design issues, inevitably resulting in delays and cost overruns. Instead, to address these complexities, companies need systems engineering which emphasizes an "integrate then build" approach.

Amidst this growing complexity, how do you deliver next-generation products at half the cost, in half the time and with fewer resources?

Integrate the systems engineering model-based methodology, standard processes and tools with an open, interoperable and flexible product lifecycle management environment: system lifecycle management (SysLM).

What does systems engineering software do for you?

SysLM helps connect product architecture with system models and requirements to drive the downstream product development, linking all disciplines and processes.

It can help accelerate product development and significantly reduce program schedules and resources consumed in integration.

Integrate

Enable cross-functional teams to begin with all systems integrated and connected to the requirements — in the same product development environment.

Collaborate

Break down silos in product development and enable cross-domain collaboration and visibility on system architecture and requirements.

Model

Embrace data- and system-modeling driven approaches and leverage the most comprehensive digital twin to optimize product development.

Optimize

Continuously optimize product development and accelerate innovation by keeping all parts integrated in one system from concept, design and engineering to verification and validation.

Accelerate the development of complex products

Capture customer requirements and connect them to the product lifecycle. Obtain product architecture to establish the digital thread relationships that drive multi-domain development. Drive requirements, parameters and functions into downstream development environments.

Architecture and system models

  • Achieve comprehensive product architecture and system modeling.
  • Enable effective decision-making by providing complete information from requirements to validation.
  • Model-based approach connects systems engineering across engineering disciplines to build a comprehensive product architecture.

Closed-loop system requirements

  • Achieve multi-domain closed-loop system requirements.
  • Establish a requirements-driven development process, enabling seamless alignment between design and system needs.
  • Ensure accurate designs, minimize errors and drive efficient, goal-oriented development.​

System validation

  • Achieve cross-discipline continuous system validation.
  • Ensure system assumptions are tested and validated continuously throughout development.
  • Assess system feasibility with simulations and tests to ensure bi-directional validity of detailed design considerations across engineering disciplines.

Start and stay integrated

  • Achieve a "start integrated, stay integrated" approach.
  • Empower asset orchestration across engineering disciplines for concurrent development.
  • Synchronize workflows, foster collaboration and ensure consistent data management. Enable system implementation to start integrated and stay integrated.

Interface definitions

  • Achieve upfront multi-disciplinary interface definitions.
  • Define clear multi-disciplinary interfaces across subsystems, with traceability to downstream abstraction and detail models.
  • Eliminate redundancies and ensure the safety and security of system operations.

System targets and parameters

  • Achieve measurable business-driven system targets and parameters.
  • Align product definitions with business goals early in the systems concept design phase.
  • Prioritize upfront decision-making to improve program planning. Implement accurate reporting and roll-ups to track progress.

Frequently asked questions

What is systems engineering software?

Systems engineering software enables you to leverage digital tools and a comprehensive virtual replica (digital twin) of the real product. It empowers cross-functional teams to start with all systems integrated and connected to the whole set of requirements in the same product development environment.

Why should my company adopt systems engineering software?

With systems engineering software, you can develop products that are compliant by design with the entire set of use case scenarios (including mechanical, electrical, electronics and software requirements, as well as safety or sustainability aspects) in a timely and cost-effective way.

With an integrated systems engineering solution, you can leverage the comprehensive digital twin and an integrated approach to multi-domain engineering to realize the full potential of systems engineering. You can holistically define product use case scenarios and connect all product requirements and engineering disciplines in a single environment. Make the multi-domain digital twin accessible to all stakeholders, including suppliers, across functional disciplines and the entire product lifecycle with continuous integration. Manage complexities with confidence, build the right products and build the products right.

How do your systems engineering solutions support product development teams?

Our integrated systems engineering solution, Teamcenter, enables customers to start with an integrated product definition and optimized product architecture at the earliest stage of concept design. It ensures seamlessly integrated and scalable cross-domain engineering to help teams build the right product, while enabling continuous end-to-end verification and optimization to ensure the product is built right. Leveraging this level of integrated systems engineering will result in greater system performance, reduced costs, enhanced customer satisfaction and full compliance with ambitious safety and sustainability goals because customers are continuously integrated.
