Modeling is the art of being concrete on an abstract level.
Tim is a member of the executive board of the German consulting company oose, an MBSE coach, and an active member of the OMG and INCOSE communities. He has written sections of the initial SysML specification and is a co-chair of the SysML v2 finalization task force.
As a coach, he has advised many companies in different domains. His insights into their challenges are one source of his experience that he shares.
Tim is a co-host of the MBSE podcast.

AI Assisted MBSE with SysML
The book highlights the significance of software in systems engineering and uses AI as a subject matter expert. It presents a comprehensive example that covers SysML modeling, including requirements, use cases, logical/ physical architecture, and parametric simulation. It then continues into software, leveraging AI's code generation capabilities to produce software including microcontroller, UI, and DMBS code. It introduces a variety of personas and agents that can help engineers communicate with AI about systems and software engineering.
The book also introduces SysML v2, focusing on the new language model and exploring AI's ability to generate models via code generation. Perhaps most importantly, it provides a straightforward roadmap for hardware/software co-design, accelerated at every step by AI.
Whether you're a systems or software engineer, or just interested in how to use AI for engineering, AI Assisted MBSE with SysML will prove to be a valuable guide.

SYSMOD – The Systems Modeling Toolbox – Pragmatic MBSE with SysML
SYSMOD is an MBSE toolbox for pragmatic modeling of systems. It is well-suited for use with SysML. This book offers a set of methods with roles, inputs, and outputs, concrete modeling guidances, and examples showing how the methods can be applied with SysML.
- Requirements modeling, System Context, Use Cases
- Functional, Logical and Product Architectures
- Modeling guidances on how to create a SysML model
- Full-fledged SysML example
- Best Practices
- Complete definition of a profile for SYSMOD
- Adoption of MBSE in an Organization
- SysML v1.6 in a Nutshell
Variant Modeling With SysML
SysML does not provide explicit built-in language constructs to model variants. Nevertheless, SysML is useful to create a model for variants. The VAMOS method presented in the book Variant Modeling with SysML is one option on how to model variants with SysML. It uses the profile mechanism of SysML to extend the language with a concept for variant modeling. The concepts are core, variation point, variation, variant, variant constraint, and variant configuration. The book shows how to apply the concepts with standard SysML modeling tool.

The New Engineering Game – Strategies for Smart Product Engineering
The engineering of products faces an increasingly complex and dynamic environment. Megatrends like the Internet of Things (IoT) and the industrial internet respectively Industry 4.0 change the rules on the field. They require a new kind of engineering and thinking. Only companies that can adapt themselves to the frequent and partially disruptive changes in the complex and dynamic markets are successful in the long term.
