Nel contesto tecnologico odierno in rapida evoluzione, la necessità di processi ingegneristici efficienti ed effi- caci risulta fondamentale. Approcci tradizionali centrati sulla documentazione spesso comportano sfide quali discontinuità nella comunicazione, difficoltà nel mantenimento della coerenza, inefficienze nella gestione della complessità dei sistemi e errori nell’integrazione dei dati. D’altra parte, gli approcci dell’Ingegneria dei Sis- temi basati sui Modelli (MBSE), pur offrendo un quadro più dinamico e olistico per l’ingegneria dei sistemi, presentano ancora limitazioni, specialmente per quanto riguarda la generazione e l’integrazione manuale dei modelli. Questa tesi affronta tali sfide avanzando la metodologia MBSE attraverso lo sviluppo di uno strumento innovativo progettato specificamente per automatizzare la generazione e l’integrazione dei modelli. L’obiettivo principale di questa tesi è dimostrare la fattibilità e l’implementazione di un approccio automatizzato alla generazione dei modelli che trasforma elementi ingegneristici diversi in un modello unificato utilizzando un linguaggio standardizzato all’interno di un singolo ambiente MBSE, riducendo lo sforzo manuale richiesto per la creazione di diagrammi, blocchi e architetture di sistema, migliorando così la coerenza e ottimizzando il flusso di lavoro dell’ingegneria dei sistemi. Un caso studio, applicato al campo delle applicazioni aerospaziali, valida l’approccio dimostrando la sua efficacia. Infine, la tesi discute anche le sfide e i limiti associati a questo framework di generazione automatizzata dei modelli e propone possibili estensioni delle sue funzionalità.

Abstract
n today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the need for efficient and effective engineering processes has become essential. Traditional document-centric approaches often lead to challenges such as discontinuity in communication, difficulties in maintaining consistency, inefficiencies in managing system complexity, and errors in data integration. On the other hand, current Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches, while offering a more dynamic and holistic framework for system engineering, still face limitations, particularly when it comes to the manual generation and integration of models. This thesis addresses these challenges by advancing the MBSE methodology through the development of a novel tool specifically designed to automate the generation and integration of models. The primary objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the feasibility and implementation of an automated model generation approach that transforms diverse engineering elements into a unified model using a standardized language within a single MBSE environment, reducing the manual effort required for creating diagrams, blocks, and system architecture, thereby improving consistency and optimizing the system engineering workflow. A case study, applied to the space application field, validates the approach demonstrating its effectiveness. Finally, the research work also discusses the challenges and limitations asso- ciated with this automated model generation framework and proposes potential extension of its features.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
