Model-based systems engineering, or MBSE, is a paradigm shift in systems engineering that replaces traditional document centric approaches with a methodology built on structured domain models. The International Council on Systems Engineering defines it as the formalized application of modeling to support system requirements, design, analysis, verification and validation activities. Where document centric engineering scatters specifications across many text documents, spreadsheets and diagrams that can drift out of agreement with each other, MBSE centralizes information in interconnected models that maintain the relationships between system elements automatically and serve as the authoritative source of truth for the design. It has been widely adopted across industries dealing with complex systems, including aerospace, defense, rail, automotive and manufacturing, where it helps manage complexity, reduce development risk, improve quality and improve collaboration among multidisciplinary teams.
