Siemens and IBM collaborate to bring SysML v2 model-based systems engineering to Siemens Xcelerator

Siemens Digital Industries Software is releasing Systems Modeler for SysML v2 Standard software, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, to address the complexity of products that feature mechanical, electrical, electronic and software components. Systems Modeler for SysML v2 offers an intuitive, web-based solution that enables engineers to develop smarter, more competitive and more innovative products.
 
Representing the next milestone in Siemens’ collaboration with IBM to deliver best-in-class model-based systems engineering (MBSE) software, Systems Modeler for SysML v2 is powered by IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering. The new software, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, fully supports the SysML v2 open standard and leverages the two organisations’ decades of systems engineering expertise. SysML v2 is a new modelling language for the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of complex systems and systems-of-systems.
 
“By supporting the latest SysML v2 standard, we’re combining cutting-edge systems engineering best practices with a modern user experience and streamlined cross-domain workflows,” says Frances Evans, Senior Vice President of Lifecycle Collaboration Software at Siemens Digital Industries Software. “We’re empowering engineers to work more efficiently, align across domains and accelerate the development of complex systems.”
 
Melissa Modjeski, Vice President, IBM Software – Security, Lifecycle Management and B2B Integration, adds: “We’re proud to partner with Siemens in empowering systems engineers to leverage advanced SysML v2 modelling while enabling seamless collaboration across software, mechanical and electrical domains. We are delivering a truly integrated model-based development process that sharpens our clients’ competitive edge.”

System Modeler for SysML v2 is designed to improve collaboration among engineering teams involved in complex product development. It uses SysML v2 models to exchange data between different software applications and engineering domains, such as electrical and mechanical engineering.
 
Systems Modeler for SysML v2 will offer integration with Siemens’ Teamcenter product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The integrated solution connects the systems-focused digital thread based on open standards, integrating data and processes across mechanical, electronics, electrical and software. This streamlines the transfer of system designs to downstream teams for domain-specific development while maintaining full traceability. Additionally, it supports comprehensive change management across the entire project, ensuring all modifications are tracked and co-ordinated efficiently.
