System Modeling and Analysis
You are ready to start a complex engineering project, having selected a system architecture and defined your product requirements. How will you avoid integration errors and the associated cost overruns?
We can analyze your proposed architecture and model it in detail, giving insight into the subsystem interfaces and potential conflicts. As the project progresses, we will keep the model in sync with design decisions, maintaining foresight throughout the development process.
Value Proposition
- Reduce program costs by minimizing integration errors
- Understand your system before you build it
- Identify critical engineering efforts early
Deliverables
- MBSE model of proposed architecture
- List of subsystem and interface requirements
- Feasibility studies of subsystems, if appropriate
- Multi-disciplinary optimization, if appropriate
- Maintenance of MBSE model throughout the design process
System Architectural Design
You have a project to execute and the means to do so, but you lack a clear path between your requirements and the final product. We can analyze your requirements and propose a number of system architectures that your team can execute on, and the data framework to do so efficiently.
Value Proposition
- Cost/Performance analysis of your design space
- A clear path forward
Deliverables
- Requirements and Stakeholder analysis
- A number of plausible system architectures meeting your requirements
- Trade studies comparing these architectures
- Low-fidelity MBSE models of each architecture
Project Management
If you need a complex system developed, and lack the know-how to do so, we can stand up a competent engineering team to execute on your product.
Value Proposition
Your goals, realized
Deliverables
Engineering projects will be divided into four phases:
Conceptual Design
- Set of proposed system architectures
- Trade Studies for each system
- Low Fidelity MBSE Models
- Conceptual Design Review (CoDR)
Preliminary Design
- MBSE Model for selected system architecture
- Multi-disciplinary Optimization
- Feasibility studies for all subsystems
- Preliminary Design Review (PDR)
Detail Design
- Design and simulation in detail of all system components
- Prototyping of critical subsystems
- Complete system documentation
- Critical Design Review (CDR)
Prototyping
- Prototyping of complete system
- Integration of all subsystems
- Function testing of all subsystems
- Integration testing of complete system
- Acceptance testing of complete system
- Delivery of prototype
Engineering Process Improvement
Do you want to implement all or part of the Birdbrain process into your engineering work flow? We can review your existing processes and make proposals for improvements according to our methods. We will also assist in the integration of Birdbrain EDM into your data management framework.
Value Proposition
- Reduction of costs
- Increase in productivity
- Greater Quality Assurance
Deliverables
- Analysis of existing processes
- Proposals for improvements
- Assistance for process changeover
- Customization of Birdbrain EDM to your specific needs
