Product Use Cases

Accelerate Your Engineering Workflow with SBE Vision

SBE Vision unifies the engineering ecosystem by establishing a defined, interoperable digital thread across tools, teams, and data. Regardless of your systems development process, whether ISO 15288, the V-model, or a customized enterprise framework, SBE integrates seamlessly without disruption. From concept of operations through design, verification, production, and sustainment, SBE Vision ensures authoritative traceability and reliable data flow.

Digital threads span far beyond a single workflow. There are more than one hundred distinct use cases across engineering execution, compliance, program management, supplier coordination, change management, and lifecycle sustainment. The examples below represent only a starting point for what SBE Vision enables.

Explore a few use cases that showcase our platform in action. These are just a starting point for what we can support.

Design Verification

Purpose:

Synchronize system architecture, product design, and simulation validation through an integrated, traceable engineering environment.

Overview:

This use case connects MBSE, CAD, and Simulation tools to create a dynamic, feedback-rich environment where updates flow bi-directionally, enabling real-time impact analysis and parallel workflows.

Key Capabilities:

Parallel Development: MBSE, CAD, and Simulation teams work independently but remain continuously connected.
Dynamic Feedback Loop: Design changes auto-trigger simulation recalculations; architectural shifts inform design and performance metrics.
Faster Iteration & Validation: Changes propagate across tools instantly, minimizing rework and enabling faster cycles.
Impact Analysis: Full traceability enables systemic visibility into how each change affects upstream and downstream artifacts.

Requirements Satisfaction

Purpose:

Achieve comprehensive traceability of requirements from concept to product structure (BOM), enabling change propagation and collaborative design validation.

Overview:

This use case integrates RMS, MBSE, and a PLM system. It supports seamless requirement decomposition, architectural traceability, and downstream realization alignment.

Key Capabilities:

Top-Down Requirements Traceability: High-level requirements authored in RMS are linked to lower-level requirements in MBSE and visible downstream in PLM.
Cross-Domain Design Justification: Requirements are mapped to architectural components, validating satisfaction and enabling collaborative engineering.
Change Propagation: Iterative updates trigger proposed changes across tools, maintaining synchronization while enabling review workflows.

Stakeholder Needs Definition

Purpose:

Enable full traceability and stakeholder visibility throughout the engineering lifecycle, from initial requirements through real-time analytics.

Overview:

This use case incorporates the use of an ALM tool, a RMS tool, and Data Visualization. By linking engineering artifacts and surfacing insights via AI-powered dashboards, teams gain comprehensive visibility into project progress, risks, and optimization opportunities.

Key Capabilities:

End-to-End Traceability: Connects requirements, designs, tests, and milestones across ALM and RMS to support compliance and informed decisions.
Real-Time Dashboards: Data aggregation into a visualization layer exposes status, dependencies, and bottlenecks clearly.
AI-Powered Insights: Advanced models identify hidden risks and trends even in systems lacking full link structures, enhancing early decision-making.

System Architecture Definition

Purpose:

Enable agile, traceable system architecture development with real-time simulation validation and requirements alignment.

Overview:

This use case brings together MBSE, RMS, and Simulation tools to define and validate system architecture. Changes to architecture or simulation results drive informed updates across the lifecycle, enhancing accuracy and minimizing delays.

Key Capabilities:

Independent but Interoperable Workflows: Each tool evolves independently while remaining synchronized through interoperable data.
Real-Time Validation: Simulations adjust dynamically based on architectural inputs, ensuring continuous design-validation loops.
Traceable Design Decisions: Every update is recorded and traceable, ensuring context for all changes and supporting "shift left" practices.
