Program Experience

In this 48-hour private cohort tailored to your toolchain, participants build a unified system model and connect it to requirements, simulation, and PLM. Using Cameo Systems Modeler with Teamwork Cloud and Collaborator, teams practice versioning/merge, validation suites, stakeholder reviews, and change/variant control. They integrate DOORS Next or Jama, co-simulate with MATLAB/Simulink via FMI, add Modelica physics, and hand off configurations to Teamcenter or 3DEXPERIENCE.

The goal: integrate MBSE with analysis and development environments to deliver a living digital twin that drives decisions and compliance. Leaders gain governance and rollout patterns; practitioners leave with reusable templates, integration patterns, and a functioning digital thread they can extend on day one.
This program carries CEUs and may qualify for tuition assistance.

FAQ

Outcomes focus on cross-tool capability, governance, and measurable impact. By the end, your team will be able to:

Stand up a digital thread that unifies requirements, SysML models, simulation artifacts, and PLM data across the lifecycle.
Establish end-to-end traceability with coverage and impact analyses from requirements → model → test/simulation → release.
Design an integration pattern using open standards (e.g., ReqIF/FMI) for reliable data exchange across tools and teams.
Define modeling standards and automate quality checks; configure validation rules/suites to enforce consistency at scale.
Operationalize multi-user collaboration (versioning, change/variant control, stakeholder reviews) for cross-disciplinary teams.
Implement reuse and variability management for product lines to reduce duplication and rework.
Execute model-in-the-loop/co-simulation workflows and use results to drive design decisions.
Produce audit-ready evidence for compliance and assurance (V&V, safety/reliability) from connected artifacts.
Build a rollout plan (training, change management, metrics) tracking time-to-productivity and defect-rework reduction.

Instruction and labs are mapped to your stack. The curriculum is tailored per engagement.

Digital Thread Overview & Methods

Metrics & Reporting

Model-based KPIs: requirements coverage, validation status, change/merge churn, review throughput, variant/config status

SysML Roadmap

SysML v1 → v2 transition readiness: migration patterns, execution implications, and toolchain impacts

This certificate is designed for organizations deploying or maturing MBSE and digital thread practices across complex programs. It serves engineering leaders who must govern the toolchain and practitioners who will build and sustain it day-to-day. Participants should be comfortable with MBSE concepts and basic SysML modeling; familiarity with requirements tools and simulation helps accelerate labs.

Typical roles include: systems, requirements, test, V&V, software, hardware, safety/reliability, controls, mechanical, and electrical engineers; product and project managers; configuration management specialists; MBSE practitioners and technologists.

How is this different from vendor training?
We go beyond tool operation to connect your end-to-end workflow—requirements, SysML, simulation, and PLM—so teams leave with an enterprise-ready integration pattern.

Can you tailor to our stack?
Yes. We configure labs for your environment (e.g., Cameo, DOORS Next/Jama, MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica, Teamcenter/3DEXPERIENCE, Zuken) and align to your governance standards.

What’s the format and cohort size?
Private cohort for one organization; ideal class size is 15–25. Delivery can be on-site, online live, or hybrid.

How long is the program?
48 hours of instruction and hands-on labs. We can schedule as consecutive days or distributed sessions (e.g., over 4–6 weeks).

What are the prerequisites?
Comfort with MBSE and basic SysML modeling is expected. Exposure to requirements tools and simulation is helpful. Optional pre-course refreshers are available.

Do you supply software?
We’re an educational partner with Dassault Systèmes and can provide Cameo Systems Modeler/Catia Magic Systems of Systems education licenses for instructional use when needed. Whenever possible, we run labs in your enterprise environment; if you already hold licenses for tools like DOORS Next, Jama, MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica, Teamcenter/3DEXPERIENCE, or Zuken, we can use those. Demo/trial setups can be arranged as appropriate.

How is work assessed and how is the certificate awarded?
Participants complete practical lab artifacts connected by a working digital thread. A Caltech CTME certificate is awarded upon successful completion.

What about security and IP?
No proprietary data is required. We can operate under an NDA and use sanitized or synthetic datasets aligned to your domain.

Is SysML v2 covered?
Yes—readiness, migration patterns, and implications for your toolchain are included; deeper v2 modules can be added by request.
