With today’s document-based approach to engineering, service providers and OEMS are struggling to scale solutions that can solve their hardest engineering challenges. MBSE provides a framework as well as a set of technologies to design innovative products involving complex multidisciplinary architecture. Enabling a bi-directional digital thread—starting from the concept design stage to decommissioning—MBSE covers the full product lifecycle to enhance traceability, collaboration, automation and innovation.

The MBSE approach uses system models to describe requirements, structure, behavior, parameters and product characteristics in exchangeable, reusable and configurable standard formats, resulting in improved productivity and reduced cycle time. As MBSE 2.0 technologies become more available, more industry leaders are adopting this approach to stay ahead.

At Quest Global, we offer a range of MBSE capabilities covering system modeling, analysis, verification, requirements management, risk, reliability and safety management. Our engineers bring deep expertise in SysML, Capella, Simulink, Modelica, DOORs, Polarian and other relevant technologies. With technical capacity in ReqIF, OSLC, FMU/FMI, STEP, SysAPIs, Python and other standard exchange formats/APIs, we effectively integrate system models to help establish an unbroken digital thread.

Challenges we solve

Today’s engineering service providers struggle with inconsistent implementation and the inability to transform system models to Authoritative Source of Truth (ASOT). Our MBSE maturity model provides a well-structured roadmap to implement MBSE in an agile, risk-free way. We apply strong domain knowledge with scalable modeling capabilities to provide the bandwidth to implement MBSE in large, globally dispersed engineering programs. We help seamlessly integrate engineering with digital enterprise, bringing API, PLM and software development capabilities to enterprise applications for system models.

Focus areas

MBSE with SysML V2

SysML V2 is a leading technology across engineering disciplines and industries, and at Quest Global, we have developed transition methodologies for SysML V2 implementation. This transition relies heavily on automation, and a library of SysML V2 models with textual notations significantly increases potential of AI in product design. We bridge critical approaches to automation with these technical requirements for SysML V2 to achieve the full potential offered by MBSE.

Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise architecture models provide comprehensive views of a company’s digital landscape, enabling better decision making about strategic planning. Quest Global helps our customers implement TOGAF, UAF, DoDAF, NAF, ArchiMate or any other globally recognized EA framework.

Model Based Definition (MBD)

MBD incorporates product manufacturing information (PMI) in 3D models for direct consumption of the models in manufacturing engineering systems. Quest Global has deep expertise in developing MBDs on CATIA V5, NX, Creo and other CAD tools enabling enhanced collaboration between design and manufacturing resulting in low cycle time for developing manufacturing processes and obtaining manufacturing buyoffs.

Digital Twin

Digital Twins in manufacturing significantly aid the development manufacturing processes, plant layouts, test and assembly plans, logistics and repair processes. The technology is critical in achieving zero-defect manufacturing. Quest Global offers our extensive expertise in digital twin technology, utilizing our digital manufacturing and plant simulation capabilities.
