MBDbased

MBDbased is a term that refers to systems, processes, or methodologies that are founded upon or heavily influenced by Model-Based Design (MBD). Model-Based Design is an approach to engineering that uses mathematical and visual models as the primary means of development throughout the entire lifecycle of a system, from requirements and architectural design to testing and deployment.

In an MBDbased approach, these models are not merely documentation but are executable representations of the system. This allows for early simulation and verification, enabling engineers to identify and resolve issues much earlier in the development cycle than traditional text-based or ad-hoc methods. The models can be used to generate code for embedded systems, create test cases, and facilitate collaboration among different engineering disciplines.

Key characteristics of MBDbased systems include the use of specialized software tools for modeling, simulation, and automatic code generation. This often involves languages and notations like Simulink, Stateflow, or other domain-specific modeling environments. The benefits commonly associated with an MBDbased approach include improved product quality, reduced development time and costs, enhanced system performance, and better documentation and traceability. This methodology is widely adopted in industries such as automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial automation where complex systems require rigorous development and verification.
