MBSE: System architecture, the fundamentals (CESAM Framework)

TRAINING | MASTERING | 3 DAYS
Next sessions: see the calendar

Description


Industrial organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to control the complexity of their systems. The insufficient maturity of integration processes and operations in silos are often at the origin of these problems. System architecture is the answer par excellence to these difficulties. It allows you to better control the costs, quality and performance of complex industrial systems that you design and/or manage using systemic modeling and collaborative dynamics.
The objective of this training is to master the fundamentals of system architecture and the model-based approach (MBSE). You will leave with a practical method that is directly applicable in your context.
 
Training objectives:
At the end of the training, you will be able to:
Understand the main principles of system architecture 
Understand what a need and a requirement are 
Architect the needs of a system 
Architect the environment of a system 
Establish a functional and organic architecture
 
Target audience: engineers, project managers, managers and directors
 
Prerequisites: have at least 2 years of experience in the field of design and management of complex industrial systems
 
Methods used & program: we dedicate a large part of our modules to exchanges and interaction with trainees, but above all to practice to facilitate learning. You will immediately implement what you have learned through exercises to apply the system architecture approach on a simple system that you choose collectively.

Pocket Guide

CESAMES Systems Architecting Method (CESAM) is a systems architecting & modeling framework which develops since 2003 in close interaction with many leading industrial companies in areas such as aeronautics, automotive, civil engineering, defense, energy, health, railway and space. It was initiated within the academic sphere in the context of the “Engineering of Complex Systems” industrial chair in France (Dassault Aviation – DCNS – DGA – Thales – Ecole Polytechnique). Nowadays the members of CESAM Community act however as the core developers & contributors of the CESAM framework which is presented in a light version in this pocket guide.

Maîtriser le MBSE : de l’architecture à la modélisation des systèmes

Lors de ce webinaire, Cécile BEYSSAC (Directrice Académie – Architecte Système Principal) et Adrien ROQUES (Directeur Technique – Architecte Système Expert) partagent le point de vue de CESAMES sur cette pratique, les fondamentaux de déploiement, l’articulation entre architecture système et outils de modélisation, et les avantages qu’il y a à engager une telle démarche lors de la conception de produits complexes. 
Ils caractérisent également certains cadres d’architecture et leur intégration aux différents outils de modélisation du marché (XATIS, Capella, Enterprise Architect, MagicDraw, Rhapsody…). Enfin, ils discutent des avantages et des écueils de cette adoption observés chez de nombreux clients.

CESAM Systems Architecture Key Takeaways

Complex projects are characterized by the multiplicity of components, technologies, and stakeholders and above all by the number of interfaces to be controlled. Complex projects duration combined with the acceleration of processes and services evolutions mean that most of the phases studies will be initiated while many of the structuring parameters are not yet defined… which can lead to many pitfalls.
Systems architecture provides valuable guidance to guarantee efficient and sustainable development while de-risking the projects. The objective is to anticipate design risks during the early phases of the project to minimize systemic problems and thus save time and cost.
