CORE Delivers Project Success Through Integrated Modeling

CORE® is a comprehensive modeling environment built for complex systems engineering problems. Whether you are performing a one-month study or a long-term architecture design, project success depends on getting started quickly, finding the right solution, and being responsive to program changes. Leveraging CORE’s deep model-centric capability delivered through a rich, intuitive user framework delivers early and continuous insight into your problem domain.

Requirements Behavior Analysis Architecture Development Validation and Verification

Reduce Project Risk

Leverage CORE’s integrated modeling capabilities to assess and control design and program risks. By linking all elements of your system through a central model, you’ll have greater visibility into drivers for risk and learn more quickly where the weaknesses are in your design. Stay competitive by avoiding poor designs that are more expensive. Build better models and deliver better products to market through:

  • Integrated requirements management ensure that you capture customer needs accurately
  • Fully executable behavior models help you unlock elegant functionality
  • Architecture development tools guide you swiftly to subsystems and components
  • Validation and Verification (simulation) highlights gaps and missing functions
  • Comprehensive system documentation ensures you deliver a complete solution with a clear message

Shorten The Learning Curve

CORE enables you to make the shift to model-based systems engineering (MBSE) quickly and easily by guiding you through a simple, layered approach to development. As new users join your team, you’ll be able to collaborate more easily and share a common modeling language and to focus on the engineering work and not the tools.

  • Easy to use Parsers help you get information into the model quickly so you can build the solution correctly the first time. Reduce rework by verifying you’ve secured the right requirements early.
  • Simple Model Construction gives new users a flexible way to visualize the interactions between requirements, functions, and components so you can always keep your focus.
  • Multiple Modeling Notations help you evaluate the system through a variety of integrated graphical views: hierarchies, functional flow and enhanced functional flows, N2, IDEF0, and physical block. Change one diagram and see the update reflected on all impacted views.
  • Automated Document Creation helps you generate formal documentation, including DoDAF 2.0 views, instantly from the system definition database.

Work Less to Maintain Designs

Achieving your target design is only the start. Once you’ve published the baseline you’ll need to be able to maintain the architecture for validity in the face of changing operational conditions or refined customer requirements. With CORE, you can easily keep all your projects up to date because the models are built on a central repository. So, changing one diagram impacts and updates all diagrams.

  • Change Impact Analysis Assess proposed changes in terms of the process or product improvement that will be derived from new functionality or system re-configuration.
  • The layered approach of STRATA™ is built in to CORE® and give you the assurance of a continuously optimized design.
  • Integrated configuration management capabilities will keep a clear record of who made the changes and when.

Communicate with Clarity

CORE gives you a powerful new medium to capture the intent of your system and effectively communicate across your team. You’ll be able to demonstrate aspects of your design without sacrificing traceability. CORE gives you the power of a fully integrated data model with the simplicity of a graphical environment.
