Systems Engineering and Architecture 1 Classification of Systems

Systems Engineering and Architecture (1) Classification of Systems and Research Interests Output Process (P) Transport(T) Matter (M) Energy (E) Information (I) Example: Hubble Space Telecope Store(S) Example: Aircraft Example: Com. Sat Systems (Artifact) Classification according to Rias J. van Wyk, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “Management of technology: new frameworks”, Technovation, 7 (1988) p. 341 -351 Conclusion: Aerospace systems are mainly matter and information transporters as well as information processors, with few exceptions. Those are the systems I am interested in. d. Wo: Research Interests and how they fit in the Lifecycle: (a) Integrated Modeling and Simulation (Multi-Physics) (b) Multi-Objective Optimization and Tradeoff Analysis (c) Model-Reality Correlation Lifecycle © 2001 Olivier de Weck

System Engineering and Architecture (2) Conception, Design, Implementation Lifecycle Beginning of Lifecycle modeling simulation experiments The Enterprise design techniques optimization (MDO) Manufacturing assembly Design “process information” integration creativity architecting trade studies Conceive create virtual CDR PDR choose SRR - Mission - Requirements - Constraints (a), (b) iterate Implement The System iterate real Customer Stakeholder User Architect Designer System Engineer 1 “turn information to matter” The Environment: Environment technological, economic, political, social, nature © 2001 Olivier de Weck
