Essential MBSE + Digital Twins Applied™: Cameo™ + Python edition

COURSE ID: WS-MBDT-E-TI
DESCRIPTION:
This introductory
MBSE + Digital Twins workshop provides a synergistic overview of the various sub-disciplines associated with Digital Engineering and Digital Twins (Agile MBSE, Mathematical ModSim, Dynamic ModSim, AI/Machine Learning, 3D CAD, 3D Printing, VR/AR) and teaches recursive and simulatable architecture patterns to define Digital Twins. The intensive training includes frequent Q&A and hands-on practice sessions and teaches students how to solve practical Digital Twin problems using OMG SysML™, the de facto industry-standard system architecture modeling language for MBSE applications.

For more information regarding the advantages of reusing SysML model libraries and patterns for Digital Twins and Digital Engineering applications, please contact us.

The Digital Twin workshop emphasizes tool-independent Digital Engineering principles and best practices, but uses the following Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) Modeling & Simulation (ModSim) tools for hands-on practice sessions:
  • COTS Agile MBSE Tools: Cameo/MagicDraw or Sparx EA (Demo Licenses available); others available upon request
