Power the future of MBSE

Siemens and IBM jointly power the future of MBSE with next-gen systems engineering solutions, standardized modeling (SysML) v2, automation, traceability and a holistic approach enable continuous, seamless integration of systems design across systems, processes and the entire product lifecycle.

Complexity factor

Through different aircraft generations, from the A310 to the A350 XWB, complexity has increased with a factor of 100 to 1000.

ECUs for vehicles

Vehicles continue to become more complex. Typically, cars have one ECU per vehicle function, which results in a network of up to 150 ECUs in every vehicle.

Holistic Model-based System Engineering (MBSE)

We provide a leading system modeler and a best-in-class PLM system, enabling standard, flexible and scalable integration of the MBSE domain solutions. This allows users to have a holistic view and full traceability throughout the product and production lifecycle. It can help users identify problems early, mitigate risk and manage cost.

Leading technology innovation

The adoption of new technology-based standard SysML v2 enables an highly interoperable environment. With an intuitive and seamless user interface, we maximize the end user’s productivity and efficiency. The adoption of GenAI into our solutions help automate the creation of system models and simplify and accelerate engineering operation.

Open ecosystem

The Siemens and IBM partnership enables an open ecosystem across both companies’ portfolios. With the expanded portfolio of Siemens Xcelerator, customers can connect and collaborate across our solutions (IBM Rhapsody Engineering, IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering, Siemens Teamcenter, Polarion, Capital and more) and across the entire value chain seamlessly and effectively.

The Siemens-IBM Partnership: A Holistic System Engineering Approach

At Siemens and IBM, we believe the real benefit of systems engineering comes from connecting it to the entire engineering workflow. Combining our solutions enables an end-to-end process, from systems engineering into architectural optimization, electrical/electronic (E/E) architecture design, software development, electronics design, and network communication. It lets engineers across domains draw from a unified source of truth in systems engineering. This integrated approach helps:

  • Improve Traceability:

    Traceability across all engineering disciplines, from requirements to implementation.

  • Enhance Collaboration:

    Breaking down silos and enabling different engineering teams to work on a common set of information.

  • Accelerate Development:

    Simulating complete systems based on integrated information, speeding up verification and validation.

Streamline Compliance: Automating significant portions of compliance documentation, especially with AI support.
