by Tony Komar (Siemens) Sustained innovation is the goal of many development organizations. Sustaining innovation is depicted on an Innovation as matrix as the result of a well-defined problem, and a well-defined domain definition. An example will be presented how an MBSE tool, based on open-source tool Capella, can enhance both the problem definition and domain definition of a ventilator. It will show how the MBSE tool enhanced the understanding of the problem, and how that understanding can lead to an innovative solution.

My history with Capella.
2017 Introduced to Capella, by a customer.
Shortly after I built my first model….
2018 Siemens and OBEO announced partnership and product based on Capella
2019 coached middle school students on Capella
2019-20 Introduce SMW/Capella to over dozen companies of various industries.
Solar Charger

One of my biggest challenges: How do you
introduce Capella?

Do you really have to understand 50+ years System Engineeing
knowledge to appreciate Capella?

My argument is that Innovation is goal of all
companies and Capella can aid in delivering that goal.

Hopes for today’s presentation
• You will be able to promote Capella as a tool for innovation
- It allows you to develop an understanding of the problem
you can share with other.
- Provides a means to help you methodically develop a
solution that will lay blueprint for design.
• The model I shared can bring forth new solutions
- May this case study help fill some gaps
