Week 11 - System Architecting

    For this week, we learned about system architecting is the conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and more views of a system. An architecture description is a formal description and representation of a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning about the structures and behaviors of the system. Architecture is associated with structures, their relationships, and expectation for their design. This applies to complex systems, such as aircraft, power plants, and spacecraft, as much as buildings. 

    There are three types of architecture. The first is functional architecture. Functional architecture is an architectural model that identifies system function and their interactions. It defines how the functions will operate together to perform the system mission. Generally, more than one architecture can satisfy the requirements. Below shows an example of a glucose meter functional architecture. 

    


    The second type of architecture is physical architecture. Physical architecture is the physical layout of a system and its components in a schema. It refers to some representation of the structure or organization of the physical elements of the system. Below is an example of physical architecture.





    The third type of architecture in system engineering is allocated architecture. The allocated architecture integrates the requirements decomposition with the functional and physical architectures. An allocated architecture contains the material needed to model the system's performance and enable trade-off decisions. It divides the design problem into chunks but the chunks are not completely independent. Below shows an example of a glucose meter allocated architecture list and allocated architecture.






    Before ending the class, Sir Zaki instructed us to do functional architecture, physical architecture, and allocated architecture based on our projects. The task should be done in words and to be presented on week 12. For the conclusion, we referred to the booklet given by Sir Zaki titled Systems Engineering Principles and Practice to do the task.

    Good job! At least the systems architecture is understood know. Pls relate to your project later on.

Week 15 - Operational Architecture on Capella.

Image
           For this week, we design the operational architecture of the automatic bread-making machine using Capella. The steps of the process are followed on the Capella website. The first one is the Operational Entity Breakdown.  The operational actors in this section are the oven and mixing machine. These operational actors are going to interact with the operational entities. On the right is the operational entities. The ingredients below like sugar, salt, yeast, and water are contained in the dough. The next one is operational Capabilities. In this section, the operational capability is named “Make Bread”. Below the operational capability are the operational entities. The operational capability is showing the involvement of the mixing machine and the oven.          Next is the Operational Entity Scenario. In this process,  We define and allocate the activities to the operational entities or actors and then we define al...

Week 10 - Capella Tutorial.

Image
         For  this week, we learn how to using Capella Project during the tutorial period. Dr. Zaki was asking each group member to do the tutorial.  We use this application because it can match the criteria at the end of the project based on the format of Prof. Zul given.           The Capella workbench provides methodological guidance, including an engineering workflow with clear modeling objectives, and an advanced set of productivity tools. It helps us to do the block diagram for our project. We can see the advantages of these applications.                Capella is a concrete illustration of an open and field-proven approach that can solve major concrete industrial challenges. Its creators decided to capitalize on Eclipse Modeling and its ecosystem to implement the adaptable and extensible workbench that could both support the MBSE approach it required and fit the s...
