- 6. WhatIsDigitalEngineering “The crux of digital engineering is the creation of computer readable models to represent all aspects of the system and to support all the activities for the design, development, manufacture, and operation of the system throughout its lifecycle. ” ~ Systems Engineering Book of Knowledge (SEBoK) The Goal of Digital Engineering is to Develop Digital Twins The digital twin is a high-fidelity model of the system which can be used to emulate the actual system. An organization would be able to use a digital twin to analyze design changes prior to incorporating them into the actual system. 6

- 8. BenefitsofDigitalTwins • Visualize the system in real-time • Make effective decisions quickly • Traceability in complex systems-of-systems • Predict necessary maintenance • Troubleshoot issues from geographically disperse areas. • Test in the digital environment rather than the physical (lower cost and reduced risk) • Update analytics in real-time to all stakeholders and allow in-field operators to adjust the system’s assets when needed 8
- 9. WhatRoleDoes MBSEPlayinDigitalTwins “These models would have to be connected to the physics-based models used by other engineering disciplines such as mechanical and electrical engineering.” • Modeling • Simulation • Verification and Validation • Requirements Management • Architecture Development 9
- 10. OntologiesAreNeededforDigitalTwins “One challenge remaining for digital engineering is the integration of MBSE with physics- based models. • Foundation to digital engineering is the representation of the system data in a format sharable between all stakeholders (Giachetti et al. 2015; Vaneman 2018). SysML 2.0 is one of several future developments promising to provide a representation sufficient to support digital engineering. An ontology defining the entities and relationships between them can be used to define the concepts relevant to systems engineering. Such a representation is necessary to create the digital thread linking all the models together in a cohesive and useful manner.” – SEBoK • Lifecycle Modeling Language is already there! 10
- 11. LifecycleModelingLanguage(LML) • LML was developed by a group of systems engineers who realized that SysML was not meeting the needs of the systems engineering and program management communities • The group is led by Dr. Warren Vaneman, USN CAPT (retired) and Professor of Practice at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) • LML is taught in over 200 universities around the world, including MIT, George Mason University, Stevens Institute of Technology, West Point, NPS, Air Force Academy • LML is easy to learn, use, and extend • Visit http://www.lifecyclemodeling.org 11 LML has proven to provide a strong ontology for systems engineering and program management

- 14. Innoslate’sDigitalTwinSoftwareIntegrationApproach 14 Goals of Integration: 1) Use data to create information between tools; 2) Minimize data duplication between tools. Already implemented in v4.4 • Innoslate® provides a complete MBSE environment • We added MATLAB, STK, and GitHub integration in version 4.4 • A Java Web Application (JWA) is used to interface between the Innoslate cloud native tool and desktop tools • We are in the process of integrating with the Ansys tool suite, LabView, and Selenium to complete the digital thread software
- 15. IntegrationEnabledUsingInnoslate®’sMOSAArchitecture • Plugins are viewpoints of the Innoslate database • Plugin features • Not a standalone application (requires Innoslate Core) • All authentication is through Innoslate Core with the options for: • Single-Sign-On CAC (Default) • Native Email/Password (Optional) • LDAP (Optional) • All data is stored in the U.S. Government managed MSSQL database using Innoslate Core (no data lock) • Innoslate REST API facilitates plugin data exchange Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Architecture Enables Architecture to Operations (DEVOPS) 15
