Design and Analyze a Quadcopter with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

Overview

Systems engineering deals with the design of complex products and management of the design process. Model-based systems engineering, along with model-based design, help manage the complexity and bring quantitative rigor to the field of systems engineering. This demonstration will showcase an end-to-end workflow for building a Quadcopter using MathWorks tools for requirements engineering, system architecting, design implementation, and requirements verification.

Highlights

• Create and manage system requirements
• Develop system architecture and establish digital thread using System Composer
• Assemble design components and use simulation to validate requirements and/or verify system level requirements
• Generate custom views to manage complexity of architecture models
• Conduct static trade studies using MATLAB to aid in architectural decision making
• Coexist with current and future SysML ecosystems

About the Presenter

Cori Harber is an Application Engineer at MathWorks specializing in Systems Engineering and Verification & Validation.

Cori spent her first 3 years at MathWorks in the Engineering Development Group, where she supported Physical Modeling and Verification & Validation products as part of the Technical Support Team. Cori joined the Application Engineering Group in 2023 to support MathWorks’ aerospace customers.

She graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, where she used MathWorks tools to research low-level controllers for an assistive exoskeleton.
