Integrating MBSE and PLM Systems Engineering needs PLM System Architecture is at the core of product development PLM brings engineering domains together RFLP as an abstraction of SysML RFLP is bigger than SysML Allows to map between product domains Neutralizes local SysML tool database architectures Open to all via API RFLP PLM already has the data & processes Reusable domain parts and assemblies ( carry over ) Model Lifecycle Management igital Thread that connects igital Twins 12
RFLP and esign omains Logical block a hierarchical structure L1 Critical to reuse of PLM content ( carry over ) L2 L3 PLM: Mechanical logical Part (with options and variants) PLM: Electronic hierarchical schematic block L6 L4 L5 L9 PLM: Software functional block PLM: Parameters allow to negotiate L7 L8 Port a semantic network Critical to negotiate contracts PLM: Ports define connections (vs structures) PLM: Port Functions define what and how 13
