A variant-based model is one where different structural pieces (here termed subsystems) have various options available to simulate other behaviors and is a common step of the design process. For example, in the early-state design of an aircraft, we may have multiple different thermal management system (TMS) variants to consider. The overall approach is described in a tool-agnostic form, laying out specific requirements needed from the SysML modeling tool and external analysis tools to support the proposed integration methodology. While the simulation-focused benefits are valuable, we also outline several management and additional activities enhanced through the SysML-based modeling approach helping demonstrate how a principally simulation-based engineering group might consider the digital engineering transition and balance the benefits of SysML-based modeling approaches and existing domain-specific models. 收起
