Model-Based Engineering for Complex Electronic Systems

Chapter 2

The Design and Verification Process

Henry Royce (of Rolls-Royce fame) “Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.”

In order to understand model-based engineering in the context of design, it is important to understand and define what we mean by design, particularly the major steps to be taken to achieve the goals we set.

2.1 Introduction to the Design Process

As described in Chapter 1, this book is intended to describe the techniques required for model-based engineering (MBE). It is important to keep the broader context in mind when putting a variety of techniques at the designer’s disposal, and it is also necessary to be goal-oriented in order to achieve ...
