Diagram Framework

An integrated, model-centric approach is foundational to GENESYS. In place of disjoint diagrams drawn independently and stored in a database, GENESYS dynamically generates all of its representations directly from the system design repository ensuring that they are consistent with current design details. Regardless of the representation, whenever you change a diagram, you are changing not a static picture but the actual underlying system model. A change made in any view changes the design information in the repository and, conversely, a change made to the database is automatically reflected in the views.

 

In GENESYS, diagrams become rich representations of and portals into the integrated systems model. Much as front-left-top orthogonal projections provides a clear technical representation of a physical object by looking at the individual faces, specific diagrams allow you to focus on specific aspects and perspectives of the systems model while filtering out other information. Each representation is presented in the terminology native to that representation allowing us to focus on analysis and understanding rather than the underlying metadata that unifies and drives our solution.  

 

Support for a diverse set of representations driven from a common integrated model enhances analysis and communication across the project team and throughout the project lifecycle. Seamlessly marrying SysML and traditional representations (and beyond), GENESYS delivers depth across project viewpoints. Model in your chosen representation and communicate with stakeholders in a form more comfortable to them. Leverage a truly complete set of representations - each with a specific strength and purpose - to better understand and overcome your system challenges. With a truly model-based, integrated solution, the choice is yours.

 

However, technically correct diagrams alone are not enough. Systems engineers live in a diverse world - spanning technical disciplines and market domains. Addressing systems challenges requires that you communicate with customers, users, and specialists. This demands a representation that blends substance with style.

 

To support this need, GENESYS provides a rich presentation layer allowing you to generate your system diagrams with a blend of traditional geometric blocks, stock pictures, and custom images. Style options enable you to hide peripheral information and focus attention on content you deem critical. Leveraging the presentation layer enables you to deliver enhanced analytical value and customer communications directly from within your MBSE framework.
