Functional Competencies
Generation of
Technical Requirements
GMS will help you to generate technical requirements that are well written and correspond with the INCOSE requirements writing guide.
Structural Decomposition and Interface Identification
GMS will help you use the descriptive architecture model to define interfaces internal and external to your system of interest.
Technical Requirement Decomposition
GMS will help you use models and your architecture development to decompose requirements from System level down to a "make-or-buy" level.
System Performance Modeling Integration
GMS will help you identify, build, and integrate your performance models such that trade-space analyses can be conducted at the system level.
Tool Capabilities
MBSE tools play a critical role in enabling engineers to design, analyze, and manage complex system architectures in a clear and structured way. GMS is able to utilize the following tools to ensure we develop the best roadmap for your specific product architecture.
Architectural Modeling
Descriptive architectural models are connected, multi-view representations of a system’s structure and behavior that serves as the authoritative source for its architecture definition.
These tools allow us to
-
Describe what the system needs to do for the stakeholders
-
Describe the parts of the system and their interconnections
-
Describe the functions needed for each part of the system
-
Describe the system properties that facilitate trade analysis
Requirements Database
A Requirements database is a centralized, traceable system for managing requirements and linking them directly to system architecture, design, and verification artifacts, ensuring alignment from concept through validation.
Each requirement typically includes:
-
A unique identifier
-
A clear, testable statement compliant to cross-industry standards
-
Metadata (priority, status, owner, source)
-
A life-cycle process for managing these project over project
Architectural Exploration & Tradespace Analysis
Architecture exploration is the process of creating and investigating multiple candidate system architectures to understand how different architectural choices impact performance, cost, risk, and other key factors.
Tradespace analysis builds on architectural exploration by evaluating and comparing those alternatives quantitatively and qualitatively.
Together, they enable a more rigorous and data-driven approach to system architecture decision making process.
Analytical Modeling
Analytical modeling complements architectural models by adding quantitative rigor. While architecture defines what the system is and how it’s structured, analytical models help answer:
-
How well will it perform?
-
Will it meet requirements?
-
What are the key sensitivities and risks?
These models can range from simple equations to complex simulations.
Digital Thread Connection
A digital thread connection is the set of relationships and integrations that connect:
-
Stakeholder Needs & constraints to System Element Requirements
-
System architecture representations
-
Analysis and simulation models and their results
-
Design and implementation data
-
Verification and validation artifacts
These connections ensure that all lifecycle elements are digitally tied together facilitating fast impact of change assessments.
