The MBSE Podcast

Broadcast date: October 10th, 2025, 19:00 CET In our next MBSE Podcast episode, we welcome Johannes Gross, founder of Planetary Utilities, to explore Starforge — a bold new platform that reimagines how we engineer complex systems. We will highlight: The power of SysML v2 as a unifying platform — enabling consistent structure, behavior, and semantics across the full engineering stack. The integration of AI with model-based engineering — supporting conversational model building and queries. End-to-end toolchain integration — including seamless connections to CAD, simulation engines, and open-source tools like OpenMBEE, preserving model intent across disciplines and teams. And at the end of the episode, we’ll showcase a live demo of Starforge in action — from model queries to simulation runs and interactive engineering workflows. You can watch this episode live on the YouTube Livestream on October 10th at 19:00 CET or catch the episode later on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, or Amazon Music. #MBSE #SysMLv2 #DigitalEngineering #ModelBasedSystems #AI #Starforge #OpenMBEE Der Beitrag Episode 61: Starforge with Johannes Gross erschien zuerst auf The MBSE Podcast.

Broadcast date: September 25th, 2025, 19:00 CET This episode of the MBSE Podcast is dedicated to the pre-release of the book “The SysML v2 Book: Practical Insights and Comprehensive Reference.” Tim will wear two hats in this episode: he is both co-host and guest. We sit down with the authors of this new and long-awaited SysML v2 resource. This episode will offer insights into the evolution of writing the book and how this book can guide you through SysML v2. We also discuss the challenges in applying and teaching SysML v2 that arose while writing the book. Both authors are also co-developers of SysML and KerML, so that we can draw on their experience here as well.

Broadcast date: April 24th, 2025, 19:00 CET When you think MBSE, you might think SysML right away—but what about MBSE without SysML? In our next episode, we sit down with a guest, Joshua Feingold from Occam Systems, a company that helps organizations source specialty chemicals—from flavors and fragrances to pharma ingredients and adhesives. But how do they approach complexity and optimization before anything is even manufactured? We dive into how Occam applies MBSE principles without SysML: How they model and simulate chemical sourcing processes Why does their MBSE metamodel has fewer than 20 concepts How they use AI, algorithms, and chemists in an upstream fusion of science and systems Why “MBSE First Principles” and the ideas of Wymore still matter Diagrams vs Text vs Both: what works best? If you’re curious about how MBSE is evolving outside the traditional SysML ecosystem—and how it empowers decision-making in non-obvious domains—you won’t want to miss this one.

Broadcast date: December 16th, 2024, 19:00 CET As a systems engineer, you’re constantly navigating whole-part relationships: system-of-systems, component breakdown structures, or functional decompositions, just to name a few. But have you ever taken a step back to consider these relationships from a more philosophical perspective? In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of whole-part relationships. Why is a slice of cake still considered a cake, but a single part of a forest is not a forest—it’s a tree? We’ll explore the theory behind six distinct types of whole-part relationships and examine how SysML addresses them. Tune in to gain new insights into how these concepts shape your systems thinking and engineering practices!

Broadcast date: April 25th, 18:30 CET In our upcoming episode, we will talk about semantic interoperability in MBSE. We’ll explore how this concept helps different systems communicate effectively, ensuring that data is not only exchanged but also accurately understood and utilized across various platforms and industries. This time we have three guests. They all work at ESA: Elaheh Maleki, Quirien Wijnands, and Nils Fischer who already talked with us about MBSE in Space in Episode 39. When it comes to interoperability, there is a lot of talk about data exchange formats or APIs. Information can be exchanged syntactically via these, but semantic interoperability is just as important. Even if I transfer an object’s data from one model to another, I have to make sure that it is interpreted in the same way in both models. You can join us live on the Youtube Livestream on April 25th, at 18:30 CET, or later on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, or Google Podcasts.

Broadcast date: February 12th, 2024, 19 CET  Changing from a document-based to a model-based paradigm is a huge hurdle for companies. It is not only about learning new methods, languages, and tools and changing processes and policies. It is also about changing organizational structures and engineering culture. However, sometimes, MBSE is applied as another set of administrative tasks and not as a real engineering methodology. Some companies “want” MBSE but do not understand how to “do” MBSE. Our guests, Michael Vinarcik and Christoph Fischer, wrote a book about “The Craft of MBSE” with our co-host Tim Weilkiens. We will talk about the book, the idea of ​​crafts, and future plans for building an MBSE craft community. You can join us live on the YouTube Livestream on February 12th, 2024, at 19:00 CET or later on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, or Google Podcasts.
