Systems engineering was born from the need to coordinate large technological projects, especially during times of conflict and accelerated advancement. Today, that same logic remains essential in sectors like Aerospace and Defense, where products are more complex, interconnected, and demanding than ever.
At CADTECH, as a Dassault Systèmes partner with more than 37 years of experience in complex industrial environments, we help our clients apply the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach not only in the design phases but also in production planning and execution.
From design to assembly: a necessary transformation
The evolution of systems engineering toward MBSE —supported by virtual twins, multidisciplinary models, and integrated simulation— has already revolutionized the design and validation of new systems. But its true potential emerges when it is extended to manufacturing.
Applying MBSE makes it possible to:
- Simulate processes, assembly lines, and resources before building
- Identify bottlenecks, inconsistencies, or assembly risks
- Connect design, engineering, and the shop floor around a single digital model
- Prevent errors caused by misinterpreted specifications or misaligned versions
All of this reduces risks, improves efficiency, and accelerates the journey from concept to reality—something essential in complex and demanding industrial programs such as satellites, aircraft, or defense systems.
The missing link between engineering and production
One of the biggest problems in large A&D programs is the disconnect between engineering teams and manufacturing teams. Often, even though they work on the same product, they don’t use the same data, tools, or languages.
With MBSE, both worlds share a single source of information, which allows them to:
- Validate assemblies and relationships between components from early phases
- Avoid errors caused by different interpretations of the design
- React quickly to changes or unexpected events
- Ensure that what is designed is truly manufacturable
This is especially relevant in systems with thousands of interdependent parts, where a single error not only causes delays but can compromise the entire system.
CADTECH and Dassault Systèmes: expertise applied to industrial reality
At CADTECH, we help companies implement MBSE with a practical approach connected to their daily reality, not as an abstract methodology. We apply it in companies that must deliver highly complex products within tight deadlines and need to control every variable of the process, from the first sketch to the last assembled screw.
Thanks to our experience with solutions such as CATIA Magic, 3DEXPERIENCE, and DELMIA’s integrated simulation, we help integrate MBSE into real production processes:
- No disconnect between design and manufacturing
- No silos between departments or suppliers
- No improvisation on the shop floor
And you — are you connecting design with the factory?
Complexity won’t decrease. But it can be managed more intelligently. MBSE is the tool that makes it possible, and at CADTECH we help you apply it according to your industrial reality.
