Fundamentals of MBSE: Modeling Systems with OPM

Modern systems engineering demands clear, rigorous methods for defining complex projects. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using Object-Process Methodology (OPM) provides the structured approach needed to manage that complexity effectively. By the end of this course, you will understand the fundamental shift from document-centric methods to model-centric approaches. You will be able to read, interpret, and create foundational OPM models that clearly define system structure and behavior, setting you up for success in systems analysis roles. What you'll learn: * Understand the core concepts and benefits of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). * Learn the syntax and semantics of Object-Process Methodology (OPM) for system definition. * Practice modeling system structure using OPM objects, states, and relations. * Apply OPM to define system behavior through processes, events, and procedural links. * Analyze system requirements and establish basic requirement traceability within the OPM framework. * Configure a preliminary systems architecture based on functional decomposition using OPM models. The course begins with foundational systems engineering principles before diving into the specific elements of the OPM framework. You will move from conceptual modeling to practical application through written exercises designed to solidify your understanding. This course is designed for absolute beginners interested in systems analysis, systems architecture, or project management in technical domains. No prior experience with systems modeling or engineering is required. Start building your expertise in modern systems modeling today.
