This post is the second in a series of 8 video blogs walking through the fundamentals of Model-Based Design. When taken as a whole, these videos provide the foundation stones for understanding and implementing Model-Based Design workflows. I will be using a simple Home A/C system for my example; however the principles apply to everything from Arch welders to zygodactyl pickup systems.⁽¹⁾

In this example I am laying out the system level architecture; in future posts I will go into the types of analyses that can be performed in this environment.

1. Requirements
   1. Requirements Management
   2. Writing clear requirements
   3. What I’m expecting: writing requirements
2. System Architecture
   1. Modeling architecture: Fundamentals
   2. Model architecture decomposition for hardware and close loop testing
   3. Is your system architecture “Lego Legal”?
3. Initial (shell) models (TBD)
4. Defining and managing data (TBD)
5. V&V (TBD)
6. Refining the models (TBD)
7. Code generation (TBD)
8. Odds and ends…(TBD)

Footnotes

1. Having started an A to Z theme I will see it through for the remaining 6 posts!
2. With the air quality in California impacted by the current fires, the windows open requirement may need to be adjusted.
