Systems Modeling & Simulation Working Group (SMSWG)

This joint working group was formed under an agreement between the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and the International Association of the Engineering Modelling, Analysis and Simulation Community (NAFEMS). For more information, please see the June 2012 announcement by both groups (NAFEMS, INCOSE). The complete text of the original announcement appears below.

Working Subteams

Update from 2019-01-28 Meeting: This section will be expanded with instructions to join subteam. A message will be sent to all SMSWG members with more information.

These subteams are open for participation to all SMSWG members. Please contact the subteam lead(s) to be included in email communications, meetings, and activities. Each subteam can maintain their own wiki subpages for further information.

  • SMSWG Roadmap and Sharing of Best Practices
  • Standards Ecosystem
    • Modelica Association Standards, including FMI and SSP
    • PDES/STEP and MoSSEC
    • SysML V2
    • OSLC

This area is still under construction, but will be used to support the subteam-driven activities of the SMSWG. Until these subteams are more fully fleshed out, presentations covering this initial lineup are available on recent meeting pages listed below. Subteams may be added or removed from time to time.

The SMSWG will be scheduling monthly meetings open to the entire SMSWG membership that will cover topics at each meeting as requested by one or more subteams. Distributing our activities across multiple subteams will feed a pipeline of topics for these meetings. Subteams are encouraged to meet on their own and to request time at the monthly meetings when they have something to share or present, or would like to invite others to join their own activities.

Monthly meetings of SMSWG members will have a recurring schedule on the second Tuesday of each month for one hour at 11:00 AM U.S. Eastern Time. To receive invitations to these meetings, sign up as a member under the “Interested in Joining the SMSWG?” link on the at NAFEMS SMSWG Technical Working Group page.

WG Meetings

SMSWG member meetings are hosted online with details distributed to the member mailing list ahead of time. Face-to-face meetings are also scheduled occasionally in conjunction with INCOSE or NAFEMS events. Most presentation materials from these meetings are linked from the individual meeting pages below. In addition to these files, minutes and recordings of each meeting are also available at the SMSWG Collaborative Community (member access to Google Sites community required).

Mission Statement

To develop a vendor-neutral, end-user driven consortium that not only promotes the advancement of the technology and practices associated with integration of engineering analysis and systems engineering, but also acts as the advisory body to drive strategic direction for technology development and standards in the space of complex engineering.

This group will support activities that bridge engineering analysis and systems engineering to provide digital solutions to represent real life experiences; and optimize the integration of systems engineering and simulation solutions for both OEM and supplier.

This includes education, communication, promotion of standards, and development of requirements that will have general benefits to the simulation and analysis community with the identification of benchmarks and major strategic issues (grand challenges).

2012 Announcement by NAFEMS and INCOSE

NAFEMS and the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) announce a joint relationship for mutual participation and collaboration for the advancement of engineering simulation and model based systems engineering. This collaboration includes the implementation of a joint cross organizational working group on Systems Modeling & Simulation. NAFEMS will launch a new international Technical Working Group (TWG) in concert with INCOSE to promote a deeper understanding of lifelike behavior to integrate mechanical analysis and simulation within their Model Based System Engineering initiative. Additionally, through this collaboration NAFEMS and INCOSE will provide mutual assistance and support for international standards and develop a joint approach for interfacing with other organizations in related professional areas. The memo of understanding (MOU) was signed by both organizations at the 22nd Annual INCOSE International Symposium (IS2012) held in Rome, Italy.

“We're delighted to have agreed to collaborate with INCOSE on this initiative”, commented Tim Morris, NAFEMS CEO. “For the past 30 years, NAFEMS has been at the forefront of the international engineering analysis community, and represents the interests of over 1000 multinational organizations who are involved in CAE. At the very heart of our mission statement is a desire to push forward knowledge, skills and technology in the CAE arena, and it is through working together with other similarly-minded organizations that we can truly accelerate innovation and the development of new technologies on an international basis.”

“This agreement with NAFEMS marks a new step in the collaboration with partner organizations”, said Ralf Hartmann, INCOSE Director for Strategy. “Up to now INCOSE has primarily established liaison and cooperation schemes with other societies in the area of the engineering and management of systems. The successful evolution of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) under the leadership of INCOSE has unveiled the significant opportunities which emerge from a stronger cooperation with key engineering disciplines such as software and CAE. I am looking forward to the enrichment of our MBSE initiative through this collaboration with NAFEMS.”
