A Practical Guide to SysML, 2nd Edition

3.4 A Simplified MBSE Method

In addition to learning the modeling language and a tool, a modeler must apply a disciplined model-based systems engineering (MBSE) method to adhere to sound systems engineering practice and build quality system models. SysML provides a means to capture the system modeling information without imposing a specific MBSE method. A selected method determines which modeling activities are performed, the ordering of the activities, and the types of modeling artifacts used to represent the system. For example, traditional structured analysis methods can be used to decompose the functions and then allocate the functions to components. Alternatively, one can apply a use case driven approach that derives functionality based ...
