Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook Second Edition - Second Edition

By: Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass

Overview of this book

Agile MBSE can help organizations manage change while ensuring system correctness and meeting customers’ needs. But deployment challenges have changed since our first edition. The Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook’s second edition focuses on workflows – or recipes – that will help MBSE practitioners and team leaders address practical situations that are part of deploying MBSE as part of an agile development process across the enterprise. In this 2nd edition, the Cameo MagicDraw Systems Modeler tool – the most popular tool for MBSE – is used in examples (models are downloadable by readers). Written by a world-renowned expert in MBSE, this book will take you through systems engineering workflows in the Cameo Systems Modeler SysML modeling tool and show you how they can be used with an agile and model-based approach. You’ll start with the key concepts of agile methods for systems engineering. Next, each recipe will take you through initiating a project, outlining stakeholder needs, defining and analyzing system requirements, specifying system architecture, performing model-based engineering trade studies, all the way to handling systems specifications off to downstream engineering. By the end of this MBSE book, you’ll learn how to implement systems engineering workflows and create systems engineering models.

Monitor exercise metrics

Metrics monitored include speed, distance, power, cadence, time, and grade (incline). Data will be uploaded to connected devices at a rate of at least 5 Hz.

Export/upload exercise metrics

The system monitors, stores, and reports metrics over Bluetooth, ANT+, and ANT FEC interfaces. It is assumed that the user will provide their own heart rate strap for capturing and reporting their heart rate to their iOS, Android, or Windows devices.

Variable power output

Output can be set from 0 to 2,000 watts with a heavy flywheel to provide power smoothing over changing effort with an accuracy of 1%. Resistance...
