Atego has launched the Artisan Studio ParaSolver add-on module for its Artisan Studio development tool suite. The module quickens the process of exploring complex SysML design alternatives by executing SysML parametric models. This enables optimal system design solutions to be determined quickly and easily. The module enables system engineers to calculate system MoEs (measures-of-effectiveness), such as cost, risk, reliability and performance characteristics and automatically verifies design constraints.
The add-on module connects SysML with solvers such as Mathematica and OpenModelica. Equations used for computing MoEs are represented as constraint blocks while SysML parametric diagrams connect the system properties and MoEs using these equations. Complex systems can be decomposed in Artisan Studio using SysML blocks. By altering the input properties, engineers can explore scenarios to find system alternatives and easily set up trade-off studies by specifying ranges or discrete sets of property values. The module also leverages existing functional models and dispersed model fragments in this process by combining and orchestrating models held externally in MATLAB/Simulink and Mathematica.
