Today’s products are becoming increasingly complex and software intensive. This presents major challenges for organizations being able to effectively manage all the data, information, and artifacts across the lifecycle for these types of systems — and one of the key reasons that Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is fast becoming the standard approach to systems engineering for digital transformation today.

In this paper, we look at some of the most asked questions around model-based systems engineering, including:

• What is MBSE?
• What is the real intent of MBSE?
• Is MBSE the same thing as SysML?
