What is Systems Engineering?

• Systems Engineering is a first, crucial phase in
  the development of any complex, multidisciplinary
  system.
• The quality of the system design resulting from
  this mission-critical phase will impact the cost
  and value of the entire project!

3
OPCAT Solution

• OPCAT offers a dedicated systems engineering
  solution for requirements, design, analysis, and
  simulation of such complex systems.
• Fast ROI is achieved by a timely prevention of
  costly errors, significant reduction of
  time-to-market, and improved product quality.

• Success in this mission-critical phase cannot be
  achieved using just

Partial solutions geared for software design UML
Administration tools that focus on workflow and
authorization
Elementary tools Like Word or Visio
You must have a comprehensive System Engineering
modeling solution

OPCAT Architecture
Smooth, fast, and consistent transition to
detailed design and development
Designing the system by using Object Process
Methodology (OPM) graphical and textual language
Editor
Advisor
Smart algorithm identifies design patterns and
helps implement organizations best practices
on-the-fly.
Simulator
Simulation and conceptual debugging at the design
level

• Interaction Layer
• Requirements
• Production Information
• Frameworks and Policies

Engage requirements, production information (PLM)
standards- related-information into the SE
design
Integration tests are planed as a consistent
layer on top of the system design
Integration test Planner
presentation
external objects related to the design such as
UI, JPG, Flash and physical parts are presented
together with the design

Main Advantages

• Clear, intuitive, consistent textual and
  graphical communication language inside and
  outside the organization.
• A comprehensible model of the system starting
  from the early stages of requirement analysis and
  traversing the entire system lifecycle.
• System animation and simulation for design level
  debugging.
• Preservation of actionable knowledge for
  effective maintenance and future generations
  development via OPCATs built-in evolution
  mechanism.

OPCAT Main Outputs
Detail Design The design is transmitted by XML
to detailed design tools such as UML, BPEL,
MATLAB and CAD enabling smooth transition to the
next phases of design.
Project Management Skeleton Development tasks
are automatically exported to the organizational
project management software where resources,
cost and timetable can be added.
Product Lifecycle Management
Systems Basic physical component list (Bill of
Materials- BOM) carrying SKU is exported to the
organizational PLM systems for further handling
Knowledge Management Systems OPM blueprints
provide a common ground for system development
and reference. Embedded model-based Test Design
serve as reference for the later system
integration testing.
