Participants will learn how to apply MBSE in ways that reduce friction while increasing engineering impact. Key outcomes include the ability to:
- Identify and eliminate high-pain, low-value MBSE modeling practices
- Distinguish problem-space analysis from solution-space architecture
- Apply subsystem-based, object-oriented decomposition for scalable designs
- Use activity modeling to discover requirements and model exception behavior
- Design clean, maintainable, and simulation-ready interfaces
- Apply parametric modeling to validate performance and design decisions
- Integrate requirements, structure, and behavior into executable system models
This program can be customized to your organization’s needs and budget at no additional cost. Common topic areas include:
- Eliminating Friction - Distinguishing high-pain vs. low-pain modeling practices and anti-patterns
- Problem-Space Analysis - Using domain models and activities to uncover core requirements
- Structural Decomposition - Object-oriented approaches to responsibility allocation and architecture
- Behavioral Modeling - Scalable, state-based behavior aligned with implementation
- Interfaces Without Pain - Logical and physical interface design for change and simulation
- Parametrics and Simulation - Binding parametrics to behavior to debug models and validate performance
- End-to-End Execution - Executing an integrated Lunar Lander system model
This course is designed for systems engineering professionals and technical leads working across the system lifecycle. It is well suited for organizations that want to improve MBSE adoption without increasing overhead or resistance.
The program can be tailored for:
-
Teams new to MBSE who want a practical, low-friction entry point
-
Experienced MBSE practitioners seeking to simplify and modernize practices
-
Engineering organizations struggling with over-modeling or tool fatigue
What is Pain-Free MBSE?
Pain-Free MBSE is a practical approach to Model-Based Systems Engineering that focuses on maximizing engineering value while minimizing unnecessary modeling effort, overhead, and tool friction.
Is this course based on the Pain-Free MBSE book?
Yes. This program is grounded in the Pain-Free MBSE methodology developed by Brian Moberley and Doug Rosenberg and expands it into a hands-on, instructor-led learning experience designed for enterprise teams.
How is this different from traditional MBSE training?
Traditional MBSE training often emphasizes notation, tools, or exhaustive modeling. This course focuses on modeling decisions, helping teams identify which MBSE practices deliver real value and which introduce unnecessary complexity.
Is this course appropriate for teams new to MBSE?
Yes. The course can be tailored for teams new to MBSE as well as experienced practitioners. Content depth, pacing, and examples are customized based on your organization’s MBSE maturity.
Does the course focus on SysML?
SysML is used as the modeling language, but the emphasis is not on learning SysML syntax in isolation. Instead, SysML is applied as a practical tool to support architecture, behavior, interfaces, and simulation.
What tools are used in the course?
The course typically uses Cameo Systems Modeler and the Cameo Simulation Toolkit. Tool usage can be adapted to align with your organization’s existing MBSE environment where appropriate.
Can this program be customized for our organization?
Yes. This is a customizable enterprise program. Topics, duration, delivery format, and emphasis areas can be tailored to your technical domain, program context, and learning objectives at no additional cost.
