Model-Based Design

Model-based design (MBD) is a process used in engineering that enables the development of complex systems by combining a conceptual model—which is used to represent the system architecture—and the model simulation from which the functions are extracted. MBD offers several advantages when compared to traditional design techniques. Its key benefit is that it reduces design iteration cycles, which results in shorter development cycles and decreased costs. Additionally, MBD allows for earlier detection and resolution of design problems, as well as for the direct reuse of existing design components. Furthermore, MBD provides more clarity for the design process, allowing for a better understanding of the system. The use of MBD is widespread and applies to various disciplines such as medicine, aerospace, automotive, electronics, and many more.
