Developing a System Engineering Knowledge Partner | Siemens | Capella Days 2025

"Developing a System Engineering Knowledge Partner" Presented by Tony Komar from Siemens DISW. Organized by Obeo and Thales. Hosted by Samuel Rochet The presentation slides are available on the Capella website: https://mbse-capella.org/resources/pd... *** The growing complexity of engineered systems requires that knowledge captured in system models be accessible beyond the boundaries of systems engineering. Disciplines such as design, analysis, manufacturing, and sustainment increasingly depend on insights embedded in system models, yet existing methods often make it difficult to leverage this content effectively across domains. This paper introduces the concept of a System Engineering Knowledge Partner, an approach developed to make model content consumable, analyzable, and actionable for diverse stakeholders. The approach builds on Capella models, enabling structured extraction and representation of knowledge, AI-assisted reasoning, and tailored delivery of information aligned with the needs of other disciplines and domains. A demonstration will illustrate how the Knowledge Partner operates on existing Capella model content, showing how requirements, functional chains, and architectural relationships can be surfaced in ways that support decision-making outside of systems engineering. The paper also shares lessons learned in developing this capability, particularly in relation to the role of semantic richness in Arcadia and how these insights can inform SysML v2 practices. Finally, attendees will be invited to explore the Knowledge Partner directly, with guidance provided on how to access and experiment with the capability. The paper concludes with reflections on the potential of AI- and model-driven assistants to extend the impact of systems engineering in the broader digital engineering ecosystem. *** Stay up to date on Capella news and events by following our socials here: Website: https://www.eclipse.org/capella/ LinkedIn :   / capella-mbse-tool   Capella Forum: https://forum.mbse-capella.org/ *** Chapters: 0:00 - Introduction & Abstract 5:21 - Current State of General-Purpose Large Language Models with System Models 8:45 - Retrieval Augmented Generation Notebook Knowledge Partner based on Capella 14:07 - Developing Agent based Knowledge Partner leveraging a Capella Model 15:58 - Designing an SE Agent started with Operational Capabilities 16:40 - Architecture of System Engineering Knowledge Partner 17:55 - Video: Sustainment Demonstration using Agent based Knowledge Partner 32:12 - Review of what your saw in the video 36:06 - Conclusion 40:36 - Outro ***
