Modeling Fundamentals of Systems Engineering — Lesson 3

Let us understand the fundamentals of modeling, exploring its definition and varied forms. Learn how models represent systems, entities, phenomena, or processes, explaining their physical, mathematical, or logical aspects. Explore different model classifications, from physical mock-ups to computer-interpretable models, each serving distinct purposes. Understand the significance of logical models in system engineering and SysML's role in formalizing them. Explore the value of system models in managing complexity, promoting understanding, and facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration. Learn about their integration within the digital engineering ecosystem, alongside standards and data management practices, to streamline the product lifecycle management process.
