MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering)

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a systems engineering methodology that uses formal, connected models—rather than documents—to specify, design, analyze, verify, and validate complex systems throughout the development lifecycle. It provides the systems-level framework that defines what must be simulated and how simulation evidence connects to requirements.
