That approach clearly takes full advantage of MBSE with regard to the increasing “digitization” of electric vehicles: the whole of cars design can be optimized as many components become redundant and the benefits of digital processing generalized. Nonetheless, its focus remain on the design of solutions and overlook the critical aspect of requirements and analysis models.
Great blog. Please take a look at http://www.3E-motion.com for information about the CHERY EXEED vehicle platform project. We developed the whole E/E-system model based, without UML/SysML. This is the re-definition of state-of-the-art because the whole car’s E/E-system has been developed using a complete reference model from features to functions, architecture, electrics, communication and more. The next project will be carried out using our model based project management and model based requirements management. Take a look at http://www.3E-motion.com and see the MBSE part on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHWtCm_HS5c. best regards Juergen Kaiser
