Professor Leon McGinnis and colleagues Russell Peak (MARC) and Chris Paredis (ME) are working with Lockheed Martin to demonstrate the use of a new systems modeling language (SysML) for supporting system design with integrated simulation and analysis.

Professor Paredis' team is investigating the use of SysML in product design, and the tight integration between a system architecture specified in SysML and an associated simulation in Modelica.

Dr. Peak's team is investigating generic methods for linking product design models specified in SysML to generic solvers.

Professor McGinnis' team is linking factory models developed in SysML to product models and investigating the potential for automated generation of factory analysis using simulation and factory physics.
