Workshop: Practical use-cases

Abstract
Use-case 1: Enabling MBSE with Simulation to perform System Analysis for Space-Based Solar-Power.
This presentation explores the joint use of Model-Based System Engineering (Capella) and Simulation (System Composer, Simulink) to perform architecture optimization and system analysis in the context of the project SBSP (Space-Based Solar Power).
This work has been done in collaboration with Thales Alenia Space Italy (Serena Brizio, Lorenzo Guarino, Umberto Di Tommaso)
Use-case 2: Safety Analysis as an extension of MBSE
This presentation explores Model-Based Safety Analysis (MBSA) as an effective strategy for verifying and validating safety requirements for mobile robots. Specifically, we demonstrate how MBSA enables the initiation of safety analysis early in the development phase and allows it to proceed in tandem with design activities. Furthermore, we highlight the role of simulation data in validating the assumptions underpinning safety analyses and ensuring alignment between design and safety considerations.
