Standing on the shoulders of giants. Progressively addressing issues of flow and interoperability along the systems lifecycle
Today we show joint work within the EC Artemis CRYSTAL project CRYSTALaims to provide CRITICAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING ACCELERATION Interoperability and traceability across the lifecycle are critical to show success An example of work with Airbus, Alenia, Polito University and others 3 Acknowledgement: The research leading to these results has received funding from the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking under Grant Agreement N 332830 and from specific national programs and / or funding authorities.
Why is Crystal important? Real industry use-cases Four multinational industry segments 1/3 Major industrial users 1/3 Suppliers 1/3 Research and consultants > Common Engineering Methods > Reference Technology Platform > Interoperability Specification > Demonstrators 4

CRYSTAL Public Aerospace Case Study: De-Icing System Use Case Objective: Definition of De-icing System for Regional Turboprop Aircraft, with: o Minimal Cost, Weight, Power Consumption o Fulfilling safety constraints o Fulfilling functional needs (i.e. keep Aircraft components free-of ice) Engineering Challenges: Many change requests; how to assess impact? Different alternative concepts for De-icing: Pneumatic Boots De-icing Fluid Aerothermic Engine Cooling Air Aerothermic using Bleed Air Electric Electro- Impulsive Optimal Solution? 02 May 2015 6
The work is at the concept stage a regulatory change comes in the team need quick answers There is a new regulation for the maximum An aerospace use-case pressure in pipework.. We need to work out quickly how will this affects design? Pete, Project Manager Next gen De-icing system Ice sensor Pilots panel Flying surfaces Ice remover Susan, Systems Engineer New regulation There are many new directives. We don t have much time. I must take care to make the right call now, to avoid rework later. 7
We follow the story of the rapid 1 st assessment of regulatory change request how much of work and data is affected? Manage the Change Request & related Tasks Pete, Project Manager Report back to the boss! A Susan, Systems Engineer task & new Requirements B designs (function & performance) C Assess the impacted design & parts Review findings & close the initial task IBM material 8
Susan needs to understand what she is being asked to do Q1 What do I need to do? Manage the Change Request & related Tasks Pete, Project Manager Q2 Where are we? Report back to the boss! Susan, Systems Engineer task & new Requirements designs (function & performance) Assess the impacted design & parts Review findings & close the initial task IBM material 9
We use the Engineering Lifecycle Manager to collaborate around Lifecycle Information You will see Susan do this: Susan, a Systems Engineer, needs to understand the complex web of information & how it is affected by the proposed Change Request A task & new Requirements 1. Use project views and queries 2. Use a Change Request summary 3. Requirements tracing 4. related documents 5. system Functional structure and relationships 6. Begin design & solution exploration IBM material 10
Susan needs to understand the current state of the design Manage the Change Request & related Tasks Pete, Project Manager Q2 Where are we?..towards targets Report back to the boss! Susan, Systems Engineer task & new Requirements designs (function & performance) Assess the impacted design & parts Review findings & close the initial task IBM material 11
We use joint simulation to verify system mission performance You will see Susan do this: Susan, a Systems Engineer, needs to understand the state of the design and where it is towards it s design targets B1 B2 designs (function & performance) 1. System function 2. Environmental and mission modelling 3. Joint functional and performance model execution 4. Evaluate results of ice removal and power consumption for a solution concept IBM material 12
Susan needs to assess the impact of the proposed change Manage the Change Request & related Tasks Pete, Project Manager Q3 What s affected? Report back to the boss! Susan, Systems Engineer task & new Requirements designs (function & performance) Assess the impacted design & parts Review findings & close the initial task IBM material 13
We assess the impact of change using Engineering Lifecycle Manager You will see Susan do this: Susan, a Systems Engineer, needs to understand how the change propagate into the design e.g. supplier components C Assess the impacted design and parts 1. Assess multiple solutions 2. Query impacted items 3. See solution structure 4. Query across physical parts and their requirements 5. View detailed Design information 6. Identify affected Physical parts IBM material 14

By harnessing knowledge the IBM Continuous Engineering solution the team works faster and more confidently Susan, Systems Engineer Pete, Project Manager Q1 What I know do what I need I must to do do? From better ways to Manage Work > Greater speed, lower cost & higher efficiency Q2 Q3 I know Where where are we? are I know how to contain What s affected? the change From better ways to Collaborate around Information > Faster teamwork & cross-discipline cohesion From better ways to Analyse the Impact of Change > Less rework, greater accuracy and better quality IBM material 16
