Syndeia - Vision

Syndeia is a software platform for integrated model-based engineering. It enables engineering teams to collaboratively develop and manage the Total System Model (TSM) of a complex system (or project) by combining the system architecture model (SysML) with models in a variety of enterprise repositories and tools, such as PLM (e.g. Teamcenter, Windchill), CAD (e.g. NX, Creo), ALM (e.g. GitHub), Project Management (e.g. JIRA), Requirements Management (e.g. DOORS-NG), Simulations (e.g. Mathematica and MATLAB/Simulink), Databases (e.g. MySQL), and other data sources (e.g. Excel).

The Total System Model is a graph whose nodes are elements in various enterprise repositories, tools, and version control systems, and whose edges are persistent connections created by Syndeia between the nodes. Syndeia provides model transformation services to build the Total System Model graph, such as drag-n-drop requirements from DOORS-NG to SysML, generate Simulink models and PLM part structures from SysML models, connect behavior elements in SysML to software code in GitHub, or track the development status of a sub-system in JIRA directly from SysML. Syndeia provides services to search, compare, and bidirectionally synchronize connected models in the Total System Model graph, such as compare and sync changes in system architecture to PLM part structure, or compare connected SysML and Simulink models, or sync changes in DOORS-NG requirements to SysML.

The Total System Model graph is the digital blueprint of a system that evolves through the lifecycle. It is aware of the versions of connected models in various configuration management system (e.g. PLM, ALM, Requirements Management). Syndeia provides visualization services to view the Total System Model, or trace model-based connections from an element in any repository/tool. For example, start with a SysML block and explore connections to requirements in SysML or DOORS-NG, connections to NX/Creo CAD model, connections to parts in Teamcenter/Windchill PLM system, or issues in JIRA.
