In this very easy-to-follow video, we will introduce you to System Composer™, one of MathWorks system engineering tools. Design and analyse software architectures easily.
Why use System Composer™?
In most projects or activities, the process typically begins with the initial concept or description phase. During this stage, the goal is to capture the overall system vision and define its requirements. You articulate the rationale behind the concept and begin shaping its structure. As a systems engineer, this often starts with brainstorming—perhaps on a whiteboard—and gradually transitions into developing both formal and informal requirements, specifications, and system architectures. Throughout this process, requirements are allocated to architectural components, and trade studies are conducted to optimize the architecture for various design objectives. However, challenges may arise due to limited integration between system engineering tools, leading to gaps and inefficiencies during the design process.
A single platform for systems engineering, design, implementation, and verification
MathWorks systems engineering tools integrate seamlessly with MATLAB® and Simulink® to provide a unified modeling environment. System Composer™ serves as a central platform for systems engineering, design, implementation, and verification. It enables you to allocate requirements while developing and refining architectural models that can be directly designed and simulated in Simulink. By bridging the gap between early conceptual development and detailed model implementation, System Composer™ helps maintain continuity across the design lifecycle. Additionally, it supports the creation of a digital thread, ensuring a connected and traceable development process.
