QIF and Digital Engineering Thread


Title: QIF and the Digital Engineering Thread
Companies: Capvidia, ITI, and John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory
Speakers: Daniel Campbell, VP MBD, Capvidia. Ryan Gelotte, MBD Applications Engineer. Tony Provencal, Director, Technical Sales, ITI. 


Overview:

Model-based enterprise (MBE) is a Digital Engineering (DE) domain that represents a paradigm shift in how organizations manage and leverage information. A model-based approach relies on creating and applying a set of interconnected digital models (the native Creo model and a robust neutral CAD model) that accurately describe products and processes throughout a product’s lifecycle.

At APL, there is a large community of systems engineers that are working on Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) efforts.  Digital Engineering at APL is comprised of both ME and MBE tools and practices.  While both share the first two words, “Model-Based”, the models referred to in both are quite different with MBE models being 3D CAD as well as derived data and MBSE models being some form of a SysML model.  While the types of models are distinctly different between the two domains, there are some similarities between the two.  In this presentation we will discuss the similarities as well as some of the opportunities to build a digital thread between the two domains.

Topics to be discussed:

  • Using Creo to create MBD models per ASME standards
  • Using QIF as neutral CAD format for Verification of Model-Based Characteristics
  • MBE Validation and Verification vs. MBSE Validation and verification
  • MBD Validation (derivative, change, quality)
  • MBSE Validation and Verification (V&V of requirements and specifications)
  • Connecting the MBE and MBSE domain digital threads (MBD Characteristics and MBSE Requirements)

 


 

Advancing MedTech: Edwards Lifesciences


Title: Advancing MedTech: Edwards Lifesciences' Journey to Model-Based (MBx) and Potential of Trusted MBD Models.
Companies: Capvidia and Edwards Lifescience
Speakers: Cristina Martinez Villalba ,Sr Manager, Business Solutions, Edwards Lifesciences. Daniel Campbell, VP MBD, Capvidia. William Cockrell, Director, Business Solutions, Edwards Lifesciences.


Overview:

The Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industries have led the transition to Model-Based (MBx) with a push from the Department of Defense (DoD). In comparison, the medical industry has not had the same push from the FDA. Edwards Lifesciences has initiated the move from 2D drawings towards MBx, including Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Model-Based Inspection (MBI). 

This journey is made possible through collaborative efforts of multidisciplinary engineering groups working towards defining MBI processes and establishing partnerships with CAPVIDIA to implement tools and adoption of industry standards like Quality Information Framework (QIF) file and STEP 242. This will be resulting in faster times to market and reduced costs, but there is even greater potential still to unlock.

In this presentation, we will share our preliminary results, benefits and lessons learned of consuming trusted Creo MBD models and adoption of industry standards such as STEP 242 and QIF. We will demonstrate the potential of trusted MBD models in action.
