Study Notes

The Design Definition process in system engineering includes several activities.
Prepare for design definition: This involves obtaining the necessary SE Handbook for personal use only, and identifying design drivers and strategies.
Determine necessary technologies and system characteristics categories.
Examine system architecture, establish design approach, and create the system design.
Allocate system requirements to design elements and conceive new designs if necessary.
Transform architectural entities and relationships into design elements and controls enablers.
Design definition strategy/approach, system viewpoints, and models are created as typical outputs.
System architecture description, interface definition, and verified/validated system architecture and design are typical inputs.
Analyze design, including interfaces, and capture system design description using methods and frameworks.
Evaluate system design for suitability, consistency, and value to stakeholders.
Parametric design and trade-off analysis techniques can be used for exploration and balanced solutions.
Analyze system design properties and characteristics during evaluation.
