MBDの新潮流とその課題

抄録

As a development methodology that enables highly efficient and advanced manufacturing without rework through holistic optimization, Model-Based Development (MBD) is being actively promoted. However, with the recent significant transformations in the automotive development environment, there is a pressing need for the evolution of MBD methodologies. This paper examines the environmental changes surrounding the automotive industry and the corresponding challenges faced by MBD, and explores the requirements for modeling as a means to address these challenges. Furthermore, it introduces the concept of the physical function model as a modeling method that satisfies these requirements, supplemented with case studies. Within this context, the paper elucidates the characteristics of modeling using the physical function model and, based on these insights, discusses the potential of model description languages to represent functions across various engineering disciplines.
